Let R be a subring ring of Q. We reserve the symbol p for the least prime which is not a unit in R; if R ⊒Q, then p=∞. Denote by DGL nnp, n≥1, the category of (n-1)-connected np-dimensional differential graded free Lie algebras over R. In [1] D. Anick has shown that there is a reasonable concept of homotopy in the category DGL nnp. In this work we intend to answer the following two questions: Given an object (L(V), ϖ) in DGL n3n+2 and denote by S(L(V), ϖ) the class of objects homotopy equivalent...

Let G be a compact Lie group. We present a criterion for the orbit spaces of two G-spaces to be homotopy equivalent and use it to obtain a quick proof of Webb’s conjecture for compact Lie groups. We establish two Minami type formulae which present the p-localised spectrum ${\Sigma }^{\infty }BG₊$ as an alternating sum of p-localised spectra ${\Sigma }^{\infty }BH₊$ for subgroups H of G. The subgroups H are calculated from the collections of the non-trivial elementary abelian p-subgroups of G and the non-trivial p-radical subgroups of G. We...
