The loop space $Ω_X$ of a pointed topological space $X$ is the space of based maps from the circle $\mathbb S^1$ to $X$ with the compact-open topology.

Can the standard map $\Sigma \Omega X \to X$ be a homotopy equivalence?
If $X$ is such a space (a CW complex, say), then it must be a suspension $\Sigma Y$ (as it is the suspension of $y :=\Omega X$). The James splitting gives
$$\Sigma \Omega \Sigma Y \simeq \bigvee_{n=1} …

On the naturality of the bar construction
I think the following will do, but it is not pretty.
Write an element of $\Delta^n$ as a tuple $0 \leq x_1 \leq \cdots \leq x_n \leq 1$. Identifying $[0,1]$ with $[-\infty, \infty]$, we may as well c …

Homology of loop space
I believe the argument Galatius had in mind is the following. Let us write $\bar{V} = \oplus_{n \geq 2} V_n$, so $V = V_1 \oplus \bar{V}$. All cohomology will be rational, and we write $G := \pi_1(X)$ …
