Postnikov invariants of H-spaces

Dominique Arlettaz, Nicole Pointet-Tischler (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is known that the order of all Postnikov k-invariants of an H-space of finite type is finite. This paper establishes the finiteness of the order of the k-invariants k m + 1 ( X ) of X in dimensions m ≤ 2n if X is an (n-1)-connected H-space which is not necessarily of finite type (n ≥ 1). Similar results hold more generally for higher k-invariants if X is an iterated loop space. Moreover, we provide in all cases explicit universal upper bounds for the order of the k-invariants of X.

Product splittings for p-compact groups

W. Dwyer, C. Wilkerson (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that a connected p-compact group with a trivial center is equivalent to a product of simple p-compact groups. More generally, we show that product splittings of any connected p-compact group correspond bijectively to algebraic splittings of the fundamental group of the maximal torus as a module over the Weyl group. These are analogues for p-compact groups of well-known theorems about compact Lie groups.
