Let $\Omega^{n+1}S^{n+1}$ be the base-pointed $(n+1)$-iterated loop space on the $(n+1)$-sphere. In the paper [The homology of $\mathcal{C}_{n+1}$-spaces, $n\geq 0$, F. Cohen, Lecture notes in mathematics Vol. 533,][1] page 226, Theorem 3.2, it is proved that as a $AR_n\Lambda_n$-Hopf algebra, $$ H_*(\Omega^{n+1}S^{n+1};\mathbb{Z}_p)\cong GW_n H_*(S^0;\mathbb{Z}_p) $$ for primes $p\geq 2$. **Question:** In page 223, it is said that "the coproduct are determined by the diagonal Cartan formulas (page 213, (4))". I do not understand how to write the coproduct of $H_*(\Omega^{n+1}S^{n+1};\mathbb{Z}_p)$ explicitly? In the paper [On the homology of configuration spaces,][2] Section 4, as an associative and commutative $\mathbb{Z}_p$-algebra, a generator set of $H_*(\Omega^{n+1}S^{n+1};\mathbb{Z}_p)$ is given. I want to know how to obtain the coproduct formulas of $H_*(\Omega^{n+1}S^{n+1};\mathbb{Z}_p)$ as a coalgebra.

In the paper [On the homology of configuration spaces][1], Section 4.1, a basis for the graded vector space $H_*(\Omega^m S^m;\mathbb{Z}_2)$ is given as $$ u_0, u_1, Q_I u_0, Q_I u_1 $$ where $0,1$ denote the two generators of $H_0(S^0;\mathbb{Z}_2)$ and $Q_I=Q_{i_1}Q_{i_2}\cdots Q_{i_r}$ for $I=(i_1,i_2,\cdots, i_r)$, $0<i_1\leq i_2\leq \cdots\leq i_r<m$. By the Cartan formula (cf. [The homology of $\mathcal{C}_{n+1}$-spaces, $n\geq 0$, F. Cohen][2], page 213) [![enter image description here][3]][3] In the answer below, we calculated that $$\Delta_* Q_I u_0=\sum_{t_1=0}^{i_1}\sum_{t_2=0}^{i_2}\cdots \sum _{t_r=0}^{i_r}Q_{t_1}Q_{t_2}\cdots Q_{t_r}u_0\otimes Q_{i_1-t_1}Q_{i_2-t_2}\cdots Q_{i_r-t_r}u_0, $$ $$\Delta_* Q_I u_1=\sum_{t_1=0}^{i_1}\sum_{t_2=0}^{i_2}\cdots \sum _{t_r=0}^{i_r}Q_{t_1}Q_{t_2}\cdots Q_{t_r}u_1\otimes Q_{i_1-t_1}Q_{i_2-t_2}\cdots Q_{i_r-t_r}u_1. $$ Is this result correct or wrong? **Question:** The problem is that $Q_{t_1}Q_{t_2}\cdots Q_{t_r}u_0$, $Q_{i_1-t_1}Q_{i_2-t_2}\cdots Q_{i_r-t_r}u_0$, $Q_{t_1}Q_{t_2}\cdots Q_{t_r}u_1$, $Q_{i_1-t_1}Q_{i_2-t_2}\cdots Q_{i_r-t_r}u_1$ are not included in the basis. It does not make sense. Why? [1]: http://www3.nd.edu/~taylor/papers/cocs.pdf [2]: http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~may/BOOKS/homo_iter.pdf [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/bAcdw.png
