Synopsis

The H-spaces considered have no homology p-torsion and are rationally equivalent as H-spaces to products of even dimensional Eilenberg–Maclane spaces. We obtain conditions which ensure that if the cohomology with coefficients in the ring of integers localized at the prime p is a polynomial algebra, then the Pontrjagin ring with these same coefficients is polynomial. A topological consequence is that BSUP has just one homotopy associative, homotopy commutative H-structure.
