Local-to-global principles for groups and p-local finite groups
Wednesday April 2, 2008
11:00AM - 12:00PM
Speakers:
Jesper Grodal
Abstract:
A p-local finite group is an algebraic structure which mimics
the p-local structure in a finite group, and topologically corresponds to
the p-completed classifying space. A central question in group theory is
to what extend the local structure determines the global structure. In
this talk I will present a homotopical approach to this question via
p-local finite groups, and give some concrete local-to-global results for
specific classes of finite groups. This talk is joint work with Bob
Oliver.
