Recursion formulas for the homology of Ω(X Y )

Giora Dula and Elyahu Katz

Vol. 86 (1980), No. 2, 451–461
Abstract

A recursion formula for H(Ω(X Y )), the homology of the loop space of the wedge of the spaces X and Y is established when ΩX and ΩY are connected, and have finite dimensional homology. The recursion formula is expressed in terms of HX) and HY ), and applies to dimensions higher than a fixed integer which depends on the dimension of the highest nonvanishing homologies of ΩX and ΩY . A similar but much simpler recursion formula for HX) HY ), the co-product of the two algebras HX) and HY ) is also formulated. If G1 and G2 are topological groups and G1 G2 is their co-product in the category, then our results definitely hold for H(G1 G2) by replacing ΩX by G1, ΩY by G2, and Ω(X Y ) by G1 G2.
