Abstract: Let X be a 1-connected space with free loop space LX. We introduce two spectral sequences converging towards H^*(LX;Z/p) and H^*((LX)_hT;Z/p). The E2-terms are certain non Abelian derived functors applied to H^*(X;Z/p). When H^*(X;Z/p) is a polynomial algebra, the spectral sequences collapse for more or less trivial reasons. If X is a sphere it is a surprising fact that the spectral sequences collapse for p=2.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a 1-connected space and let \(\wedge X\) denote its free loop space. The circle group \(S^1\) acts on \(\wedge X\) by rotation. The associated homotopy orbit space \(\wedge X_{hS^1}\) is the total space in the Borel fibration \(\wedge X\to\wedge X_{hS^1}\to BS^1\). In this paper the authors study two spectral sequences converging to the cohomology groups \(H^*(\wedge X; \mathbb{F}_p)\) and \(H^*(\wedge X_{hS^1}; \mathbb{F}_p)\). Both spectral sequences have their origin in the Bousfield homology spectral sequence which converges, under fortunate circumstances, to the homology of the total space of a cosimplicial space. The \(E_2\)-terms are certain non Abelian-derived functors applied to \(H^*(\wedge X; \mathbb{F}_p)\). If \(X\) is a sphere, the spectral sequences collapse for \(p= 2\).
