Abstract
In the rational category of nilpotent complexes, let E be an H-space acting on a space X. With mild hypotheses we show that the action on the base point w: E -> X factors through a map Gamma(E): S-E -> X, where S-E is a finite product of odd-dimensional spheres and FE is a homotopy monomorphism. Among others, the following consequences are obtained: pi(*)(w) # 0 if and only if w is essential and H-*(w) not equal 0 if and only if X satisfies a strong splitting condition.
