Secondary cohomology operations and the loop space cohomology

Algebraic Topology 2025-01-28 v2

Abstract

Motivated by the loop space cohomology we construct the secondary operations on the cohomology H(X;Zp)H^*(X; \mathbb{Z}_p) to be a Hopf algebra for a simply connected space X.X. The loop space cohomology ring H(ΩX;Zp)H^*(\Omega X; \mathbb{Z}_p) is calculated in terms of generators and relations. This answers to A. Borel's decomposition of a Hopf algebra into a tensor product of the monogenic ones in which the heights of generators are determined by means of the action of the primary and secondary cohomology operations on H(X;Zp).H^*(X;\mathbb{Z}_p). An application for calculating of the loop space cohomology of the exceptional group F4F_4 is given.
