Extended Dyer-Lashof algebras and modular coinvariants (Q1340656)

The usual models, \(CX\), for the iterated loop spaces \(\varinjlim_n \Omega^n \Sigma^n X\) are made from the ``wreath products'', \(E \Sigma_m \times_{\Sigma_m} X^m\), where \(\Sigma_m\) denotes the symmetric group. A number of authors (including the author and his former PhD supervisor) have used modular invariant theory to study the Dyer-Lashof algebra of homology operations associated with these spaces. In this paper the author defines similar spaces in which \(\Sigma_m\) is replaced by suitable integrated wreath products, \(E_1 \int E_2 \int \dots \int E_m\). An associated extended Dyer-Lashof algebra is constructed and used to calculate the homology of these generalizations of \(CX\).
