We construct a finite 1-connected CW complex X such that $H_*(ΩX; Z)$ has p-torsion for the infinitely many primes satisfying p ~ 5,7,17,19 mod 24, but no p-torsion for the infinitely many primes satisfying p ~ 13 or 23 mod 24.
If A is a graded connected algebra then we define a new invariant, polydepth A, which is finite if $Ext_A^*(M,A) \neq 0$ for some A-module M of at most polynomial growth. Theorem 1: If f : X \to Y is a continuous map of finite category, and if the orbits of H_*(ΩY) acting in the homology of the homotopy fibre grow at most polynomially, then H_*(ΩY) has finite polydepth. Theorem 2: If L is a graded Lie algebra and polydepth UL is finite then either L is solvable and UL grows at most polynomially or else for some integer d and all r, $\sum_{i=k+1}^{k+d} {dim} L_i \geq k^r$, $k\geq$ some $k(r)$.
