Extract

The Jacobi identity for Whitehead products,

where α ɛ πl(X), β ɛ πm(M), γ ɛ πn (X), l, m, n ≥ 2 is now well known. In this note we extend the identity to the case l, m, n > 1; the extension is easy and we are merely filling a small gap in the literature. However, the extension does enable us to improve a result in (2).
