In the easiest cases this is a classifying space of a finite group (always a finite p-group). If not, we show that it has infinitely many non-trivial homotopy groups. Moreover they are either p-torsion free or else infinitely many of them contain p-torsion. By means of techniques related to fusion systems we exhibit concrete examples where p-torsion appears.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-01-25T12:37:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55P60", "20D20", "55R37", "55Q05" ], "keywords": [ "finite group", "classifying space", "fusion properties", "cellularization", "non-trivial homotopy groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......1442F" } } }
