Abstract
We compute the monoid of essential self-maps of Sn×Sn fixing the diagonal. More generally, we consider products S×S, where S is a suspension. Essential self-maps of S×S demonstrate the interplay between the pinching action for a mapping cone and the fundamental action on homotopy classes under a space. We compute examples with non-trivial fundamental actions.
