$p$-local stable splitting of quasitoric manifolds

Abstract

We show a homotopy decomposition of the $p$-localized suspension $\Sigma M_{(p)}$ of a quasitoric manifold $M$ by constructing power maps. As an application we investigate the $p$-localized suspension of the projection $\pi$ from the moment-angle complex onto $M$, from which we deduce its triviality for $p>\dim M/2$. We also discuss non-triviality of $\pi_{(p)}$ and $\Sigma^{\infty}\pi$.
