Loop spaces and homotopy operations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We describe an obstruction theory for an H-space X to be a loop space, in terms of higher homotopy operations taking values in π*X. These depend on first algebraically "delooping" the Π-algebras π*X, using the H-space structure on X, and then trying to realize the delooped Π-algebra.
