Does the cohomology ring of a simply-connected space X determine the cohomology groups of ΩX?
One could try to apply the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence to the pullback diagram • → X ← •, obtaining a spectral sequence TorH•(X, R)(R, R) => H•(ΩX, R), but ...

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 ...

Loop-space functor on cohomology
For a pointed space $X$ and an Abelian group $G$, the loop-space functor induces a homomorphism $\omega:H^n(X,G)\to H^{n-1}(\Omega X,G)$.
More concretely, $\omega$ is given by the Puppe sequence
$$\...

First cohomology of the space of long knots in ℝ⁴
Let's consider the space of long knots in $\mathbb R^n$, $n>3$. I know that there are many results (Vassiliev, Turchin, Sinha, Kontsevich) about different expressions of cohomology of this space. I ...

Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence for path-loop fibration over Q\Sigma X (reference request)
Related to the question here, here is another question. Consider the kernel of the map $H_*(QY;Z/p)\rightarrow H_{*+1}(Q\Sigma Y;Z/p)$. restricted to
$PH_*(QY)$, and let's say $Y$ itself is a ...

Alternative construction for the loop space (?)
There is a way to realize the (infinite) loop space which relies on the (homotopy) totalization of a cosimplicial space. Given a (nice?) topological space $X$, consider the cosimplicial space $X_{\...
