Homotopy decompositions of orbit spaces and the Webb conjecture

Jolanta Słomińska (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let p be a prime number. We prove that if G is a compact Lie group with a non-trivial p-subgroup, then the orbit space ( B p ( G ) ) / G of the classifying space of the category associated to the G-poset p ( G ) of all non-trivial elementary abelian p-subgroups of G is contractible. This gives, for every G-CW-complex X each of whose isotropy groups contains a non-trivial p-subgroup, a decomposition of X/G as a homotopy colimit of the functor X E / ( N E . . . N E ) defined over the poset ( s d p ( G ) ) / G , where sd is the barycentric subdivision. We also...
