This paper is a continuation of (6). We will use the definitions and notation of (6) freely. We continue our study of the restrictions imposed on the mod p cohomology of finite H-spaces by the requirement that is a U(M) algebra. As in (6) we will restrict our attention to the case where p is an odd prime. As we observed in (6), the restriction proved there, that the pth power map on is trivial, may not really require the hypothesis of . However, the restrictions proved in this paper are not valid without the assumption that . Indeed, they actually characterize the known mod odd finite H-spaces which have U(M) algebras.
