Abstract

Let F be the homotopy fibre of a continuous map $Y \overset{\omega}{\rightarrow} X$, with X simply connected. We modify and extend a construction of Adams to obtain equivalences of DGA's and DGA modules, $\Omega C_\ast (X) \overset{\simeq}{\rightarrow} CU_\ast(\Omega X),$ and $\Omega (C^\omega_\ast(Y); C_\ast(X)) \overset{\simeq}{\rightarrow} CU_\ast(F),$ where on the left-hand side Ω(-) denotes the cobar construction. Our equivalences are natural in X and ω. Using this result we show how to read off the algebra H* (Ω X; R) and the H* (Ω X; R) module, H* (F; R), from free models for the singular cochain algebras CS*(X) and CS*(Y); here we assume R is a principal ideal domain and X and Y are of finite R type.
