A stable range description of the space of link maps

We study the space $Link (P, Q; N)$ of link maps: maps from $P ⊔ Q$ to $N$ such that the images of $P$ and $Q$ are disjoint. We identify the homotopy fiber of the inclusion $Link (P, Q; N) \to Map (P, N) \times Map (Q, N)$ in a stable range, showing that it has a $(2 (n - p - q) - 3)$ –connected map to the infinite loopspace of a certain Thom spectrum.
