Abstract: | A simply connected finite complex X is called elliptic if its rational homotopy Lie algebra is of finite dimension and hyperbolic otherwise. According to a conjecture of Moore, there exists an exponent for the p-torsion part of if and only if X is elliptic. In this note, it is shown that, provided the prime p is sufficiently large, a hyperbolic space with p-torsion free loop space homology has no exponent in the p-torsion of the homotopy groups. For a class of formal spaces, this result is obtained for every odd prime. |
