Dec 2, 2011 at 19:45 comment added Vitali Kapovitch @Johannes sorry, my answer was quite wrong and I deleted it.
Dec 2, 2011 at 12:40 comment added Johannes Ebert Just having a fibre that admits an H-space structure does not yield anything. Maybe you assume that there is a multiplication $E \times_B E \to E$ which is fibre-preserving (and hence turns every fibre into an H-space)?
Dec 2, 2011 at 11:21 comment added fred137 I am sorry for asking a question that is not very precise. But I am still interested if there is a theory with some extra conditions imposed on the compatibility of the H-space structure and bundle structure.
Dec 2, 2011 at 11:01 comment added Oscar Randal-Williams @Mark: Actually, that's a bad example, as every $S^1$-bundle admits the structure of a principal $U(1)$-bundle. But the point stands with e.g. $S^3 = SU(2)$.
Dec 2, 2011 at 8:48 comment added Mark Grant In order for the question to admit a positive answer, I think you would need the $H$-space structure on $F$ to be compatible with the fibre bundle structure in some way. Otherwise, you could take, say, any bundle with fibre $S^1$ and ask whether the complex multiplication can help you compute (co)homology of the total space, which seems absurd.
