When is the classifying space of a group/H-space rationally equivalent to a product of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces?
The MO-question asks why the classifying space of a group is not necessarily rationally a product of Eilenberg–MacLane spaces.

Rationalization of topological groups and degree maps
Suppose $G$ a finitely generated nilpotent topological group and we consider its rationalization $G_\mathbb{Q}$. This space may fail to be a topological group, but it's always a group-like H-space.

rationalization of classifying spaces
This question is probably trivial for anyone who is more familiar with rational homotopy theory than me, but anyway:
Let $G$ be a simply-connected topological group. In particular, it is an $H$-...
