The suspension detection conjecture for maps inducing isomorphisms in homology and fundamental group

About 12 years old · traced to

Let AA, XX, and YY be finite CW-complexes. Suppose that a map

f ⁣:ΣX→ΣYf\colon\Sigma X\to\Sigma Y

is an isomorphism in π1\pi_1 and homology. Let g ⁣:A→ΣXg\colon A\to\Sigma X be a map such that

f∘g≃∗.f\circ g\simeq*.

Suspension detection conjecture. Then g≃∗g\simeq*.

This conjecture is proposed as a way to resolve the converse problem for the paper's decomposition theorem. The source emphasizes that an isomorphism in fundamental group and homology does not generally imply a homotopy equivalence, so the assertion is a stronger property specific to maps between suspensions.
