Co-H-structures on equivariant Moore spaces

Let G be a finite group, OG the category of canonical orbits of G and A : OG → Ab a contravariant functor to the category of abelian groups. We investigate the set of G-homotopy classes of comultiplications of a Moore G-space of type (A, n) where n ≥ 2 and prove that if such a Moore G-space X is a cogroup, then it has a unique comultiplication if dimX < 2n − 1. If dimX = 2n − 1, then the set of...
