Mislin's finiteness-obstruction conjecture for finitely dominated H-spaces

Let XX be a finitely dominated H-space, meaning a pointed space with a map X×XXX\times X\to X whose restriction to XXX\vee X is homotopic to the folding map. Its finiteness obstruction is denoted by σ(X)\sigma(X). Mislin's conjecture. One has

σ(X)=0.\sigma(X)=0.

For HH-spaces that are CW\operatorname{CW}-complexes, finite domination is characterized by finite generation of the direct sum of the integral homology groups, and the conjecture has been verified in a number of cases, including when the fundamental group is infinite or when the space has a classifying space.
