[For the first part see ibid. 29, No. 3, 449-453 (1989; Zbl 0705.57023), for the second part see ibid. 31, No. 1, 165-170 (1991; Zbl 0735.57022).] The authors are interested in \(H_* (\Omega \langle G \rangle; \mathbb{Z})\), the homology groups of \(\Omega \langle G \rangle\), the 2-connected cover of the space of based loops \(\Omega (G)\). Here \(G\) is a compact connected and simply connected simple Lie group. The answer is given in terms of the invariants \(d(G,p)\) and \(R_G(t)\) that Kac and Peterson used in their calculation of the Poincaré series of \(H_* (\Omega \langle G \rangle; \mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z})\).
