Low-Dimensional Spaces with High-Dimensional Homology

Barratt-Milnor Spheres $X_n$ are spaces with finite topological dimension $n$ but which have non-vanishing singular homology in arbitrarily high dimensions. Here, they prove that if $n > 1$ then ...

$E_\infty$-space structure of $B\mathrm{GL}(\mathbb S_{(p)})$

In Geometric Topology - Localization, Periodicity, and Galois Symmetry by Dennis Sullivan, we can read that there is a decomposition $$B\mathrm{SL}(\mathbb S_{(p)})\times K((\mathbf Z_{(p)})^\times)\...

Relative homology of free loop space with respect to constant loops

Let $Q$ be a closed manifold with $\dim Q\geq2$ and let $\Lambda_0Q$ be the connected component of the free loop space of $Q$ whose elements are contractible loops. I am looking for conditions on the ...

Where can I find W. Browder's thesis

I've been looking for W. Browder's thesis Homology of loop spaces for a while now, and I really found nothing except for articles and book having it in their bibliography. Does someone know if it can ...

Integer homology of double loop space of odd-dimensional sphere

I have checked everything "homology of loop spaces"-like, but was not able to find what is $H_*(\Omega^2S^3, \mathbb{Z})$. Therefore I ask you how to compute that?

stable splitting into a wedge sum [closed]

Suppose $X$ is a CW-complex such that there is a stable splitting of $X$ into wedge sum $$ \Sigma^t X\cong \bigvee _{k=1}^\infty Y_k. $$ (1). Does this imply $$ X\to \Sigma^tX\to \bigvee _{k=1}^\...

The cohomology groups of $\Omega U(n)$

Let $\Omega U(n)$ be the loop space of $U(n)$. Is it true that the cohomology groups $H^*(\Omega U(n); \mathbb{Z})$ are torsion-free? How can one calculate these groups?

Proof of the ''trangression theorem''

Here is what I would call the transgression theorem. Let $X$ be a pointed space and $\Omega X$ its loop space. There are two maps $H_{p}(\Omega X) \to H_{p+1}(X)$ which should be the same. I am ...

What is the Hopf algebra structures in the homology of the based loop spaces of $E_7$ and $E_8$?

Since $\Omega X$ is a $H$-space, if it has homology of finite type, the homology acquires the structure of a Hopf algebra. Bott has shown that for $X=G$ a Lie group, in fact $H_*(\Omega X)$ is free ...
