Survey on Classifying Spaces for Families of Subgroups
نویسنده
چکیده
We define for a topological group G and a family of subgroups F two versions for the classifying space for the family F , the G-CW -version EF (G) and the numerable G-space version JF (G). They agree if G is discrete, or if G is a Lie group and each element in F compact, or if F is the family of compact subgroups. We discuss special geometric models for these spaces for the family of compact open groups in special cases such as almost connected groups G and word hyperbolic groups G. We deal with the question whether there are finite models, models of finite type, finite dimensional models. We also discuss the relevance of these spaces for the Baum-Connes Conjecture about the topological K-theory of the reduced group C∗-algebra, for the Farrell-Jones Conjecture about the algebraic Kand L-theory of group rings, for Completion Theorems and for classifying spaces for equivariant vector bundles and for other situations.

Classifying fuzzy normal subgroups of finite groups
In this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. Explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.
متن کاملHOMOLOGY DECOMPOSITIONS FOR p-COMPACT GROUPS
We construct a homotopy theoretic setup for homology decompositions of classifying spaces of p-compact groups. This setup is then used to obtain a subgroup decomposition for p-compact groups which generalizes the subgroup decomposition with respect to p-stubborn subgroups for a compact Lie group constructed by Jackowski, McClure and Oliver. Homology decompositions are among the most useful tool...

In this paper a rst step in classifying the fuzzy subgroups of a nite nonabelian group is made. We develop a general method to count the number of distinct fuzzy subgroups of such groups. Explicit formulas are obtained in the particular case of dihedral groups.
متن کاملSUBGROUP FAMILIES CONTROLLING p-LOCAL FINITE GROUPS
A p-local finite group consists of a finite p-group S, together with a pair of categories which encode “conjugacy” relations among subgroups of S, and which are modelled on the fusion in a Sylow p-subgroup of a finite group. It contains enough information to define a classifying space which has many of the same properties as p-completed classifying spaces of finite groups. In this paper, we exa...
متن کاملClassifying Spaces of Subgroups of Profinite Groups
The set of all closed subgroups of a profinite carries a natural profinite topology. This space of subgroups can be classified up to homeomorphism in many cases, and tight bounds placed on its complexity as expressed by its scattered height.
