For each odd prime 'p' a simply connected finite H-space is constructed with p-torsion in homology. Implications of the examples for the theory of finite H-spaces are examined. Applications of the techniques used for the main results are given to mod p decomposition problems. An…
Obstruction theoretic methods are introduced into isovariant homotopy theory for a class of spaces with group actions; the latter includes all smooth actions of cyclic groups of prime power order. The central technical result is an equivalence between isovariant homotopy and spe…
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…
