متن کاملSelf-maps of Classifying Spaces of Compact Simple Lie Groups
We describe here the set [BG, BG] of homotopy classes of self-maps of the classifying space BG , for any compact connected simple Lie group G. In particular, we show that two maps ƒ , f : BG —• BG are homotopic if and only if they are homotopic after restricting to the maximal torus of G ; or equivalently if and only if they induce the same homomorphism in rational cohomology. In addition, we i...
متن کاملComputing Crossed Modules Induced by an Inclusion of a Normal Subgroup, with Applications to Homotopy 2-types
We obtain some explicit calculations of crossedQ-modules induced from a crossed module over a normal subgroup P of Q. By virtue of theorems of Brown and Higgins, this enables the computation of the homotopy 2-types and second homotopy modules of certain homotopy pushouts of maps of classifying spaces of discrete groups. Introduction A crossed module M = (μ : M → P ) has a classifying space BM (...

Spaces of maps into classifying spaces for equivariant crossed complexes, II: The general topological group case. Abstract The results of a previous paper [3] on the equivariant homotopy theory of crossed complexes are generalised from the case of a discrete group to general topological groups. The principal new ingredient necessary for this is an analysis of homotopy coherence theory for cross...
متن کاملTORIC MORPHISMS BETWEEN p-COMPACT GROUPS
It is well-known that any morphism between two p-compact groups will lift, nonuniquely, to an admissible morphism between the maximal tori. We identify here a class of pcompact group morphisms, the p-toric morphisms, which can be perceived as generalized rational isomorphisms, enjoying the stronger property of lifting uniquely to a morphism between the maximal torus normalizers. We investigate ...
