Abstract

Using integral methods we recover and generalize some results by F ́elix, Halperin and Thomas on the growth of the rational homology groups of free loop spaces, and obtain a new family of spaces whose p-torsion in homotopy groups grows exponentially and satisfies Moore’s Conjecture for all but finitely many primes. In view of the results, we conjecture that there should be a strong connection between exponential growth in the rational homotopy groups and the p-torsion homotopy groups for any prime p.
