(** The total space of the Hopf construction on [Susp X] is the join of [X] with itself. Note that we need both left and right multiplication to be equivalences. This is true when [X] is a 0-connected H-space for example. (This is lemma 8.5.7 in the HoTT book). *)

(** It follows from [hopf_retraction] and Freudenthal's theorem that [loop_susp_unit] induces an equivalence on [Pi (2n+1)] for [n]-connected H-spaces (with n >= 0). Note that [X] is automatically left-invertible. *)
(** Since the above equivalence is also a group homomorphism, we get an isomorphism of groups. (We could also express the conclusion using the wild-category notation [$<~>], but then the goal would involve [HomotopyGroup_type _] instead of literally being in the category [Group].) *)
(** By Freudenthal, [loop_susp_unit] induces an equivalence on lower homotopy groups as well, so it is a (2n+1)-equivalence. We formalize it below with [m = n-1], and allow [n] to start at [-1]. We prove it using a more general result about reflective subuniverses, [OO_inverts_conn_map_factor_conn_map], but one could also use homotopy groups and the truncated Whitehead theorem. *)
