Homotopy actions, cyclic maps and their Eckmann-Hilton duals.
[ Abstract ]
We study the homotopy action of a based space A on a based space X. The resulting map A--->X is called cyclic. We classify actions on an H-space which are compatible with the H-structure. In the dual case we study coactions X--->X v B and the resulting cocyclic map X--->B. We relate the cocyclicity of a map to the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the map.
