Exercise 2.1
Assume that there exists a lift : of . Then there exist maps : and : such that for all we have . Since we find that . Furthermore we have for all : and . Thus defines a homotopy from to a constant map.
Assume that there exists : such that for all we have and . Define : by . By the definitions of and of we find that is well defined and a lift of .
Exercise 4.1
The map $P(K(n+1,\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}))\to K(n+1,\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$ is given by $\gamma\mapsto\gamma(1)$. Since $P(K(n+1,\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}))$ is contractible, every third term in the long exact sequence in homotopy is zero. Thus we obtain for all $m\geq1$ that $\pi_m(K(n+1,\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}))\cong\pi_{m-1}(\Omega K(n+1,\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}))$. By the uniqueness of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces the assertion follows.
