Abstract

In the rational category of nilpotent complexes, let E be an H-space acting on a space X. With mild hypotheses we show that the action on the base point w: E→X factors through a map ΓE:SE→X, where S E is a finite product of odd-dimensional spheres and Γ E is a homotopy monomorphism. Among others, the following consequences are obtained:π∗(w)6=0 if and only if w is essential and H∗(w)6=0 if and only if X satisfies a strong splitting condition.
