We describe a unifying approach to a variety of homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces, mainly of finite groups. For a group G acting on a poset W and an isotropy presheaf d:W → (G) we construct a natural G-map h o c o l i m d G / d ( - ) | W | which is a (non-equivariant) homotopy equivalence, hence h o c o l i m d E G × G F d E G × G | W | is a homotopy equivalence. Different choices of G-posets and isotropy presheaves on them lead to homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces. We analyze higher limits over the categories associated to isotropy presheaves d ; in some important cases they vanish in dimensions greater than the length of W and can be explicitly calculated in low dimensions. We prove a cofinality theorem for functors F: → (G) into the category of G-orbits which guarantees that the associated map α F : h o c o l i m E G × G F ( - ) B G is a mod-p-homology decomposition.

AB - We describe a unifying approach to a variety of homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces, mainly of finite groups. For a group G acting on a poset W and an isotropy presheaf d:W → (G) we construct a natural G-map $hocolim_{_{d}}G/d(-) → |W|$ which is a (non-equivariant) homotopy equivalence, hence $hocolim_{_{d}}EG × _GF_{d} → EG ×_G |W|$ is a homotopy equivalence. Different choices of G-posets and isotropy presheaves on them lead to homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces. We analyze higher limits over the categories associated to isotropy presheaves $_{d}$; in some important cases they vanish in dimensions greater than the length of W and can be explicitly calculated in low dimensions. We prove a cofinality theorem for functors F: → (G) into the category of G-orbits which guarantees that the associated map $α_F: hocolim_{} EG ×_G F(-) → BG$ is a mod-p-homology decomposition.
