Abstract: Given a simply connected space $X$ with the cohomology $H^{\ast }(X;{mathbbZ}_2)$ to be polynomial, we calculate the loop cohomology algebra $H^{\ast }(OmegaX;{mathbbZ}_2)$ by means of the action of the Steenrod cohomology operation $S{q}_1$ on $H^{\ast }(X;{mathbbZ}_2).$ As a consequence we obtain that $H^{\ast }(OmegaX;{mathbbZ}_2)$ is the exterior algebra if and only if $S{q}_1$ is multiplicatively decomposable on $H^{ast}(X;{mathbbZ}_2).$ The last statement in fact contains a converse of a theorem of A. Borel.

Review text

Let \(X\) (resp. \(\Omega X\)) be a simply connected topological space (resp. the loop space of \(X\)). The aim of this paper is to calculate the algebra \(H^{*}(\Omega X; \; \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})\) when the algebra \(H^{*}(X; \; \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})\) is polynomial, by means of the Steenrod operation \(Sq_{1}\) on \(H^{*}(X; \; \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})\) (compare with [\textit{A. Borel}, Ann. Math. (2) 57, 115--207 (1953; Zbl 0052.40001)]). The author gives also a criterion for \(H^{*}(\Omega X; \; \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})\) to be an exterior algebra. The method used is based on the filtered Hirsch model for \(X\) (see: [\textit{S. Saneblidze}, Trans. A. Razmadze Math. Inst. 170, No. 1, 114--136 (2016; Zbl 1385.55011)]).
