On a spectral sequence for the cohomology of infinite loop spaces

We study the mod- $2$ cohomology spectral sequence arising from delooping the Bousfield–Kan cosimplicial space giving the $2$ –nilpotent completion of a connective spectrum $X$ . Under good conditions its $E_{2}$ –term is computable as certain nonabelian derived functors evaluated at $H^{*} (X)$ as a module over the Steenrod algebra, and it converges to the cohomology of $Ω^{\infty} X$ . We provide general methods for computing the $E_{2}$ –term, including the construction of a multiplicative spectral sequence of Serre type for cofibration sequences of simplicial commutative algebras. Some simple examples are also considered; in particular, we show that the spectral sequence collapses at $E_{2}$ when $X$ is a suspension spectrum.
