Halperin's conjecture on the collapse of the rational Serre spectral sequence

Let XX be an F0F_0-space, meaning an elliptic space with evenly graded rational cohomology, and let p ⁣:EBp \colon E \to B be any fibration of simply connected spaces with fibre XX. Halperin's conjecture. The rational Serre spectral sequence for pp collapses at the E2E_2-term. Halperin's conjecture generalizes classical results on the rational cohomology of homogeneous spaces. It is used here to extend Stanley's calculation of the rational sectional category of the universal fibration with fibre an even-dimensional sphere to F0F_0-spaces satisfying the conjecture; its general status is not established by the supplied text.
