Abstract

The \(\mod 2\) universal Steenrod algebra \(Q\) is a non-locally finite homogeneous quadratic algebra closely related to the ordinary \(\mod 2\) Steenrod algebra and the Lambda algebra. The algebra \(Q\) provides an example of a Koszul algebra which is a direct limit of a family of certain non-Koszul algebras \(R_k\)’s. In this paper we see how far the several \(R_k\)’s are to be Koszul by chasing in their cohomology non-trivial cocycles of minimal homological degree.
