A finite $\mathbb{Q}$–bad space

Sergei O Ivanov and Roman Mikhailov

Geometry & Topology 23 (2019) 1237–1249
Abstract

We prove that, for a free noncyclic group F, the second homology group H2(F̂, ) is an uncountable –vector space, where F̂ denotes the –completion of F. This solves a problem of A K Bousfield for the case of rational coefficients. As a direct consequence of this result, it follows that a wedge of two or more circles is –bad in the sense of Bousfield–Kan. The same methods as used in the proof of the above result serve to show that H2(F̂, ) is not a divisible group, where F̂ is the integral pronilpotent completion of F.
