Abstract
Let B be a finite CW complex and G be a compact connected Lie group. We show that the number of gauge groups of principal G-bundles over B is finite up to A n-equivalence for n < ∞. As an example, we give a lower bound of the number of A n-equivalence types of gauge groups of principal SU(2)-bundles overS 4.
