On the homotopy classification of maps

Samson Saneblidze

We establish certain conditions which imply that a map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ of topological spaces is null homotopic when the induced integral cohomology homomorphism is trivial; one of them is: $H^*(X)$ and $\pi_*(Y)$ have no torsion and $H^*(Y)$ is polynomial.
