We determine the 2-adic K-localizations for a large class of H-spaces and related spaces. As in the odd primary case, these localizations are expressed as fibers of maps between specified infinite loop spaces, allowing us to approach the 2-primary v1-periodic homotopy groups of our spaces. The present v1-periodic results have been applied very successfully to simply-connected compact Lie groups by Davis, using knowledge of the complex, real, and quaternionic representations of the groups. We also functorially determine the united 2-adic K-cohomology algebras (including the 2-adic KO-cohomology algebras) for all simply-connected compact Lie groups in terms of their representation theories, and we show the existence of spaces realizing a wide class of united 2-adic K-cohomology algebras with specified operations.
