For a topological (arcwise connected) space X, let E be the function space consisting of the paths in X which start at a certain point x, and let~ 9 be the subspace of E consisting of the closed paths or loops; these spaces have been studied in particular by M. Morse [7] and J.-P. Serre [10]; E is a fiber space over X. Now~ 9 admits a natural multiplication: two loops in succession make a new loop (actually there is a more general operation between E and~ 9). This multiplication gives rise to a multi-
