The strong form of the mod-2 cohomology conjecture for decomposable Postnikov towers
The strong form of the mod-2 cohomology conjecture for decomposable Postnikov towers
Let be the homotopy fiber of a map , where , and write for mod- singular cohomology. Let be the fundamental class, and let denote the quotient of a graded algebra by its ideal of nilpotent elements. The map is assumed to represent a decomposable element .
Strong-form conjecture. As unstable algebras, one has
This strengthens the weak form by requiring the proposed isomorphism to preserve the unstable-algebra structure, not merely the graded-algebra structure. The preceding monomorphism and epimorphism motivate the conjecture, while the existence of such an unstable-algebra decomposition remains open.
