One way to understand the mod p homotopy theory of classifying spaces of finite groups is to compute their BZ/p-cellularization. In the easiest cases this is a classifying space of a finite group (always a finite p-group). If not, we show…

In this paper we complete the description of the $B\mathbb{Z} /p$-cellularization of the classifying spaces of all finite groups, for all primes $p$. The techniques are based in a careful analysis of the $p$-fusion structure of the groups…

We characterize H-spaces which are p-torsion Postnikov pieces of finite type by a cohomological property together with a necessary acyclicity condition. When the mod p cohomology of an H-space is finitely generated as an algebra over the…

We show that cellular approximations of nilpotent Postnikov stages are always nilpotent Postnikov stages, in particular classifying spaces of nilpotent groups are turned into classifying spaces of nilpotent groups. We use a modified…

Let $M$ denote a two-dimensional Moore space (so $H_2(M; \Z) = 0$), with fundamental group $G$. The $M$-cellular spaces are those one can build from $M$ by using wedges, push-outs, and telescopes (and hence all pointed homotopy colimits).…

We calculate the ku-homology of the groups Z/p^n X Z/p and Z/p^2 X Z/p^2. We prove that for this kind of groups the ku-homology contains all the complex bordism information. We construct a set of generators of the annihilator of the…

We construct a zig-zag from the once delooped space of pseudoisotopies of a closed $2n$-disc to the once looped algebraic $K$-theory space of the integers and show that the maps involved are $p$-locally $(2n-4)$-connected for $n>3$ and…

In an earlier paper of Cadek, Vokrinek, Wagner, and the present authors, we investigated an algorithmic problem in computational algebraic topology, namely, the computation of all possible homotopy classes of maps between two topological…

The theory of p-local compact groups, developed in an earlier paper by the same authors, is designed to give a unified framework in which to study the p-local homotopy theory of classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and p-compact groups,…

We compute the equivariant homology and cohomology of projective spaces with integer coefficients. More precisely, in the case of cyclic groups, we show that the cellular filtration of the projective space $P(k\rho )$, of lines inside…

If $q:Y\longrightarrow{B}$ is a fibration and $Z$ is a space, then the free range mapping space $Y!Z$ has a collection of partial maps from $Y$ to $Z$ as underline space, i.e. those such maps whose domains are individual fibre of $q$. It is…

We fix a prime number $p$ and $\K$ a number field, we denote by $M$ the maximal abelian $p$-extension of $\Ko$ unramified outside $p$. The aim of this paper is to study the $\Z_p$-module $\gal(M/\Ko)$ and to give a method to effectively…

Parallel to the very rich theory of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in characteristic $0$, we try to build a similar theory in positive characteristic. We study cells with respect to the $p$-canonical basis of the Hecke algebra of a crystallographic…

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let $l_1 \leq l_2 \leq...$ be a sequence of natural numbers, and let $X_1 \subset X_2 \subset...$ be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for…

We develop general formulae for the numbers of conjugacy classes and irreducible complex characters of finite p-groups of nilpotency class less than p. This allows us to unify and generalize a number of existing enumerative results, and to…

We study the homological algebra in the category $\mathcal{P}_p$ of strict polynomial functors of degree $p$ over a field of positive characteristic $p$. We determine the decomposition matrix of our category and we calculate the Ext-groups…

Let $\phi:\Z/p\to GL_{n}(\Z)$ denote an integral representation of the cyclic group of prime order $p$. This induces a $\Z/p$-action on the torus $X=\R^{n}/\Z^{n}$. The goal of this paper is to explicitly compute the cohomology groups…

We define unstable $p$-completion in general $\infty$-topoi and the unstable motivic homotopy category, and prove that the $p$-completion of a nilpotent sheaf or motivic space can be computed on its Postnikov tower. We then show that the…

We study spaces $X$ for which the space $Hom_p(X)$ of automorphisms with the topology of point-wise convergence is a topological group. We identify large classes of spaces $X$ for which $Hom_p(X)$ is or is not a topological group.

Let $M$ be a closed orientable $(n-1)$-connected $(2n+2)$-manifold, $n\geq 2$. In this paper we combine the Postnikov tower of spheres and the homotopy decomposition of the reduced suspension space $\Sigma M$ to investigate the cohomotopy…
