The conjecture that the maps ϕn\phi_n and ψn\psi_n are homotopic

Let XX be the space in the preceding construction, let n2n\geq 2, and let ϕn\phi_n and ψn\psi_n be the two maps defined there from the relevant smash-product construction into ΩΣ(Σn1X)\Omega\Sigma(\Sigma^{n-1}X). Homotopy conjecture for ϕn\phi_n and ψn\psi_n. The maps are homotopic:

ϕnψn.\phi_n\simeq\psi_n.

The preceding proposition shows that they induce the same homomorphism in homology, but the source gives no proof that they are homotopic and states no resolution of this conjecture.
