We find a space W such that for any such G, the classifying space PBG for proper G-bundles has the homotopy type of the W-nullification of BG. We use this to deduce some results concerning PBG and in some cases where there is a good model for PBG we obtain information about the BZ/p-nullification of BG.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-10-18T13:01:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55P20", "55P80" ], "keywords": [ "homotopy type", "proper bundles", "nullification functors", "proper g-actions", "discrete group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
