Abstract: In his study of Halperin's toral-rank conjecture, M. R. Hilali conjectured that for any simply connected rationally elliptic space X, one must have dimpi∗(X)otimesmathbbQleqdimH∗(X,mathbbQ). Let (LambdaV,d) denote a Sullivan minimal model of X and dk the first non-zero homogeneous part of the differential d. In this paper, we use spectral sequence arguments to prove that if (LambdaV,dk) is elliptic, then, there is no gaps in the Einfty term of the Milnor-Moore spectral sequence of X. Consequently, we confirm the Hilali conjecture when V=Vodd or else when kgeq3 and (LambdaV,dk) is elliptic.


The author considers elliptic spaces \(X\) with Sullivan model \((\land V, d)\) such that \((\land V, d_k)\) is itself elliptic for each \(k \geq 2\) where \(d_k\) is the \(k\)th homogenous term of the differential. He proves there are no gaps at the \(E_\infty\)-term of the Milnor-Moore spectral sequence \(\mathrm{Ext}^{p,q}_{H_*(\Omega X; \mathbb{Q})} \Rightarrow H^{p+q}(X; \mathbb{Q})\). The result implies that such spaces \(X\) have no \(e_0\)-gaps in their rational cohomology, where \(e_0(x)\) is the rational Toomer invariant of \(x \in H^*(X; \mathbb{Q}).\) The result also implies \(\mathrm{dim}\pi_*(X ) \otimes \mathbb{Q} \leq \mathrm{dim}H^*(X; \mathbb{Q})\) when \(V\) is oddly graded or when \(d_2 = 0\), affirming the Hilali conjecture in these cases.
