The homotopy type of a once-suspended 6-manifold and its applications

Abstract

Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, simply connected 6-manifold. After localization away from 2, we give a homotopy decomposition of $\Sigma M$ in terms of spheres, Moore spaces and other recognizable spaces. As applications we calculate generalized cohomology groups of $M$ and determine the homotopy types of gauge groups of certain bundles over $M$.
