H-spaces #
This file defines H-spaces mainly following the approach proposed by Serre in his paper
Homologie singulière des espaces fibrés. The idea beneath H-spaces
is that they are topological
spaces with a binary operation ⋀ : X → X → X
that is a homotopic-theoretic weakening of an
operation what would make X
into a topological monoid. In particular, there exists a "neutral
element" e : X
such that λ x, e ⋀ x
and λ x, x ⋀ e
are homotopic to the identity on X
, see
the Wikipedia page of H-spaces.
Some notable properties of H-spaces
are
- Their fundamental group is always abelian (by the same argument for topological groups);
- Their cohomology ring comes equipped with a structure of a Hopf-algebra;
- The loop space based at every
x : X
carries a structure of anH-spaces
.
Main Results #
- Every topological group
G
is anH-space
using its operation* : G → G → G
(this is already true ifG
has an instance of aMulOneClass
andContinuousMul
); - Given two
H-spaces
X
andY
, their product is again anH
-space. We show in an example that starting with two topological groupsG, G'
, theH
-space structure onG × G'
is definitionally equal to the product ofH-space
structures onG
andG'
. - The loop space based at every
x : X
carries a structure of anH-spaces
.
To Do #
- Prove that for every
NormedAddTorsor Z
and everyz : Z
, the operationλ x y, midpoint x y
defines anH-space
structure withz
as a "neutral element". - Prove that
S^0
,S^1
,S^3
andS^7
are the unique spheres that areH-spaces
, where the first three inherit the structure because they are topological groups (they are Lie groups, actually), isomorphic to the invertible elements inℤ
, inℂ
and in the quaternion; and the fourth from the fact thatS^7
coincides with the octonions of norm 1 (it is not a group, in particular, only has an instance ofMulOneClass
).

A topological space X
is an H-space if it behaves like a (potentially non-associative)
topological group, but where the axioms for a group only hold up to homotopy.

The definition toHSpace
is not an instance because it comes together with a
multiplicative version which would lead to a diamond since a topological field would inherit
two HSpace
structures, one from the MulOneClass
and one from the AddZeroClass
.
In the case of an additive group, we make TopologicalAddGroup.hSpace
an instance.
