Abstract
Let be an odd prime, and fix integers and such that . We give a –local homotopy decomposition for the loop space of the complex Stiefel manifold . Similar decompositions are given for the loop space of the real and symplectic Stiefel manifolds. As an application of these decompositions, we compute upper bounds for the –exponent of . Upper bounds for –exponents in the stable range and are computed as well.
