Iterated Higher Whitehead Products in Topology of Moment-Angle Complexes

Resumo

We give an example of a simplicial complex whose corresponding moment-angle complex is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres, but there is a sphere that cannot be realized by any linear combination of iterated higher Whitehead products. Using two explicitly defined operations on simplicial complexes, we prove that there exists a simplicial complex that realizes any given iterated higher Whitehead product. Also we describe the smallest simplicial complex that realizes an iterated product with only two pairs of nested brackets.
