Classifying spaces for 1-truncated compact Lie groups

Algebraic Topology 2018-03-16 v3

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 Map(BG,BH)Map_*(BG,BH), Map(BG,BH)Map(BG,BH), and Map(EG,BGH)GMap(EG, B_GH)^G for compact Lie groups GG and HH with HH 1-truncated, showing that they are computed entirely in terms of spaces of homomorphisms from GG to HH. These results generalize the well-known case when HH is finite, and the case of HH compact abelian due to Lashof, May, and Segal.
