Let
be the space of base-point-preserving maps from a
connected finite CW complex to a connected space .
Consider a CW complex of the form
and a space
whose connectivity exceeds the dimension of the adjunction space.
Using a Quillen-Sullivan
mixed type model for a based mapping space,
we prove that,
if the bracket length of the attaching map
is greater than the Whitehead length
WL of ,
then
has the
rational homotopy type of the product space
.
This result yields that
if the bracket lengths of all the attaching maps constructing
a finite CW complex are greater
than
WL and the connectivity of is greater than or equal
to , then the mapping space
can be decomposed
rationally as the product of iterated loop spaces.
