Abstract

We determine loop space decompositions of simply-connected four-manifolds, (n-1)-connected 2n-dimensional manifolds provided ∉ {4, 8}, and connected sums of products of two spheres. These are obtained as special cases of a more general loop space decomposition of certain torsion-free CW-complexes with well-behaved skeleta and some Poincaré duality features.
