Geometric realization of Adams maps

Let G/P be a homogenous space with G a compact connected Lie group and P a connected subgroup of G of equal rank. As the rational cohomology ring of G/P is concentrated in even dimensions, for an integer k we can define the Adams map of type k to be l _k : H*(G/P, ℚ) → H*(G/P, ℚ), l _k (u) = k ⁱ u, u ∈ H ²ⁱ (G/P, ℚ). We show that if k is prime to the order of the Weyl group of G, then l _k can be induced by a self map of G/P. We also obtain results which imply the condition that k is prime to the order of the Weyl group of G is necessary.
