Gottlieb and Whitehead Center Groups of Spheres, Projective and Moore Spaces

This is a monograph that details the use of Siegels method and the classical results of homotopy groups of spheres and Lie groups to determine some Gottlieb groups of projective spaces or to give the lower bounds of their orders. Making use of the properties of Whitehead products, the authors also determine some Whitehead center groups of projective spaces that are relevant and new within this monograph.
