Summary on Grant Application Form
The theory of p-compact groups, developed by Dwyer-Wilkerson, Notbohm, Moller and others, has been the most significant development ever in the study of finite loop spaces. The subject opens a vast field for exploration. In particular, the classification problem of p-compact groups is still open and mapping spaces between their classifying spaces are far from being well understood. A main tool in understanding the homotopy theory of compact Lie groups has been homology decompositions and in particular the so-called subgroup decomposition . This type of decomposition is likely to exist and be well behaved for p-compact groups, but to date it has not been constructed. We propose to develop a subgroup decomposition for p-compact groups, study its properties and apply it to gain a better control over the classification problem and mapping spaces between p-compact groups.
