Abstract

In this paper we study the properties of homotopy inverses of comultiplications and algebraic loops of co-H-spaces based on a wedge of spheres. We also investigate a method to construct new comultiplications out of old ones by using a group action. We are primar-ily interested in the algebraic loops which have inversive, power-associative and Moufang
properties for some comultiplications.
