Loop space decompositions of $(2n-2)$-connected $(4n-1)$-dimensional Poincaré Duality complexes
Abstract: Beben and Wu showed that if $M$ is a $(2n-2)$-connected $(4n-1)$-dimensional Poincar\'{e} Duality complex such that $n\geq 3$ and $H{2n}(M;\mathbb{Z})$ consists only of odd torsion, then $\Omega M$ can be decomposed up to homotopy as a product of simpler, well studied spaces. We use a result from \cite{BT2} to greatly simplify and enhance Beben and Wu's work and to extend it in various directions.
