Sep 4, 2020 at 13:51 comment added Ben Wieland $H_0(\Omega X)$ is the free abelian group on $\pi_1(X)$. You might ask if that is the only problem; you might ask about the higher homology of the connected component of $\Omega X$: $\Omega_0X=\Omega \tilde X$, but this doesn't help. If you take any $X$ with infinite $\pi_1$ and glue on a sphere $S^n$ at a point, bad things happen. For example, $S^1\vee S^2$ has universal cover a line with infinitely many $S^2$ glued on, thus infinitely generated $H_2$; and so its loop space has infinitely generated $H_1$.

Sep 4, 2020 at 13:32 comment added Dylan Wilson I guess if $X = S^1$ this is false, so definitely some $\pi_1$ conditions need to be made

Sep 4, 2020 at 13:16 comment added Thomas Rot I think the serre spectral sequence gives this immediately when X is simply connected
