   Title: Non-operadic operations on loop cohomology

Abstract.  We construct a space X whose (base pointed) loop
cohomology H = H*(ΩX;Z2) comes equipped with a nontrivial operation 
ω :H x H → H x H.  This is the first known example of a loop space with an
induced non-operadic operation on its cohomology.
