Sullivan's $H$-space equivalence between $G/PL[1/2]$ and $BO[1/2]$
There is a theorem by Sullivan of the following form:
Theorem: There is an equivalence of $H$-spaces
$$ G/PL[\tfrac{1}{2}] \simeq BO_{\otimes}[ \tfrac{1}{2} ]\ . $$
It can be found for example ...

Why is the oriented $G$-homotopy type of a $G$-complex uniquely determined by the periodicity generator?
Say we have a periodicity generator $e \in H^k(BG)$. I can show that we then have a $(k-1)$-dimensional $G$-complex $X$ with free $G$-action. It's also not that difficult to see that it has trivial $G$...
