Nullification Functors and the Homotopy Type of the Classifying Space for Proper Bundles
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a discrete group for which the classifying space for proper G-actions is finite-dimensional. We find a space W such that for any such G, the classifying space BG for proper G-bundles has the homotopy type of the W -nullification of BG. We use this to deduce some results concerning BG and in some cases where there is a good model for BG we obtain information about the BZ/p-nullification of BG. AMS Classification 55P20; 55P80

Nullification and Cellularization of Classifying Spaces of Finite Groups
In this note we discuss the effect of the BZ/p-nullification PBZ/p and the BZ/p-cellularization CWBZ/p over classifying spaces of finite groups, and we relate them with the corresponding functors with respect to Moore spaces that have been intensively studied in the last years. We describe PBZ/pBG by means of a covering fibration, and we classify all finite groups G for which BG is BZ/p-cellula...
متن کاملClassifying Spaces for Braided Monoidal Categories and Lax Diagrams of Bicategories
This work contributes to clarifying several relationships between certain higher categorical structures and the homotopy type of their classifying spaces. Bicategories (in particular monoidal categories) have well understood simple geometric realizations, and we here deal with homotopy types represented by lax diagrams of bicategories, that is, lax functors to the tricategory of bicategories. I...
متن کاملNotes on principal bundles and classifying spaces
Consider a real n-plane bundle ξ with Euclidean metric. Associated to ξ are a number of auxiliary bundles: disc bundle, sphere bundle, projective bundle, k-frame bundle, etc. Here “bundle” simply means a local product with the indicated fibre. In each case one can show, by easy but repetitive arguments, that the projection map in question is indeed a local product; furthermore, the transition f...
متن کاملTheories of Bundles with Additional Homotopy Conditions
In the present paper we study bundles equipped with extra homotopy conditions, in particular so-called n-bundles. It is shown that (under some condition) the classifying space of 1-bundles is the double coset space of some finite dimensional Lie group. We also establish some relation between our bundles and C*-algebras.
متن کاملOn Proper Homotopy Theory for Noncompact S - Manifqldsc
Proper homotopy groups analogous to the usual homotopy groups are defined. They are used to prove, modulo the Poincare conjecture, that a noncompact 3-manifold having the proper homotopy type of a closed product F x [0, l] or a half-open product F X [O, 1) where F is a 2-manifold is actually homeomorphic to Fx [0, l] or F x [0, 1), respectively. By defining a concept for noncompact manifolds si...
