We define higher homotopy commutativity of H-spaces using the cyclohedra {Wn}n≥1 constructed by Bott and Taubes. An H-space whose multiplication is homotopy commutative of the n-th order is called a Bn-space. We also give combinatorial decompositions of the permuto-associahedra {KPn}n≥1 introduced by Kapranov into unions of product spaces of cyclohedra. From the decomposition, we have a relation between the Bn-structures and another notion of higher homotopy commutativity represented by the permuto-associahedra. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 55P48, 55P45; Secondary 52B11, 18D10
