Abstract

Let p be any prime. It is well known that the modp Dyer-Lashof algebra acts trivially on the mod p homology of an Eilenberg-MacLane space. The main result of this paper is a converse of this fact. Specifically, it is shown that any connected infinite loop space with trivial action of the mod p Dyer-Lashof algebra is (localized at p) homotopy equivalent to a product of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. It is then shown that this equivalence does not necessarily respect the infinite loop structures involved.
