Abstract

Let qq be a prime power, \ell a prime not dividing qq, and ee the order of qq modulo \ell. We show that the geometric realisation of the nerve of the transporter category of ee-split Levi subgroups of a finite reductive group GG over Fq\mathbb{F}_q is homotopy equivalent to the classifying space BGBG up to \ell-completion. We suggest a generalisation of this equivalence to the setting of Z\mathbb{Z}_\ell-reflection cosets and establish a related fact involving the associated orbit spaces. We also establish a Dade-like formula for unipotent characters of Z\mathbb{Z}_\ell-spetses inspired by a question of Brou\'e.
