Abstract
A 1-truncated compact Lie group is any extension of a finite group by a torus. In this note we compute the homotopy types of , , and for compact Lie groups and with 1-truncated, showing that they are computed entirely in terms of spaces of homomorphisms from to . These results generalize the well-known case when is finite, and the case of compact abelian due to Lashof, May, and Segal.
