Abstract
We prove that for a free noncyclic group , is an uncountable -vector space. Here is the -completion of . This answers a problem of A.K. Bousfield for the case of rational coefficients. As a direct consequence of this result it follows that, a wedge of circles is -bad in the sense of Bousfield-Kan. The same methods as used in the proof of the above results allow to show that, the homology is not divisible group, where is the integral pronilpotent completion of .
