Adjoint action on homology \(\mod 2\) of \(E_8\) on its loop space (Q1367058)

Let \(G\) be a compact, connected, and simply connected Lie group, and denote by \(L G(G)\) its space of free loops. The space \(L G(G)\) is naturally a group which contains the space of based loops \(\Omega(G)\) as a normal subgroup and \(L G(G)\cong\Omega(G)\rtimes G\). The split extension is determined by a map ad: \(G\times\Omega(G)\rightarrow\Omega(G)\) induced by the adjoint action \(G\times G\rightarrow G\). In this note the author describes the induced morphism \[ H_*(\text{ad};\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z):H_*(G;\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)\otimes H_*(\Omega(G);\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)\rightarrow H_*(\Omega(G);\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z), \] when \(G=E_8\). This completes earlier work by the author and others.
