This paper constructs and studies a family {[italic]Q[italic]n} of operations in complex connective K-theory. The operations arise from splitting [italic]b[italic]u [wedge product symbol]∧[italic]b[italic]u (localized at a prime p) into a wedge of summands. The operations are ap…
This paper studies the mod 2 cohomology [italic]H*[italic]X of finite [italic]H-spaces. It is shown that when [italic]X is connected and simply connected then [italic]H*[italic]X has no indecomposables of even degree. As a consequence, [italic]H*([capital Greek]Omega[italic]X;[b…
It is shown that a 2-connected homotopy commutative H-space with associative mod 2 homology ring and finitely generated mod 2 cohomology ring has acyclic mod 2 cohomology. This implies that a connected, homotopy commutative, homotopy associative H-space with finitely generated m…
