Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Combinatorial models for p-completions of compact Lie groups

Description: 

I will introduce the concept of p-local compact groups, which
are combinatorial structures that generalize p-local finite groups and p-compact groups, along with some examples. Then I will describe some partial results towards showing the existence of embeddings of these objects in p-completed classifying spaces of unitary groups.
