The loop cohomology of a space with the polynomial cohomology algebra

Given a simply connected space X with polynomial cohomology H ∗ ( X ; Z 2 ) , we calculate the loop cohomology algebra H ∗ ( Ω X ; Z 2 ) by means of the action of the Steenrod cohomology operation S q 1 on H ∗ ( X ; Z 2 ) . This calculation uses an explicit construction of the minimal Hirsch filtere...
