Centers and finite coverings of finite loop spaces.
Given a principal ideal domain of characteristic zero, containing 1/2, and a two-cone of appropriate connectedness and dimension, we present a sufficient algebraic condition, in terms of Adams-Hilton models, for the Hopf algebra to be isomorphic with the universal enveloping algebra of some -free graded Lie algebra; as usual, stands for free part, for homology, and for the Moore loop space functor.
