Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the 2-local unstable homotopy groups of indecomposable A 23 -complexes. The main technique used is analysing the homotopy property of J (A, X), defined by Gray (1973) for a CW-pair (X, A), which is homotopy equivalent to the homotopy fibre of the pinch map X ∪ CA → ΣA.
