Equivariant classifying spaces from classifying spaces
Given compact Lie groups $G$ and $\Pi$, there is a notion of "$G$-equivariant principal $\Pi$-bundle", and a corresponding notion of classifying space, often denoted $B_G\Pi$, so that $G$-equivariant ...

Is the Milnor construction contractible
Let $G$ be any topological group. Then we can form the infinite join $E_G$ of $G$, i.e. the colimit $G*G*G\cdots$.
Is $E_G$ contractible?
I mean it is clear that $E_G$ is weakly contractible, but ...

Stable homotopy type of $BG^{\wedge}_p$ in algebraic terms
In the mid 90's, Martino- Priddy proved that given two finite groups $G, H$, the following are equivalent:
$\mathbb{F}_p\mathrm{Inj}(P,G)\cong \mathbb{F}_p\mathrm{Inj}(P,H)$ as $\mathbb{F}_p\mathrm{...

Can the set of iso classes of G-equivariant H-bundles be given by ordinary homotopy classes of non-equivariant maps?
Let $G$ be a (nice enough) topological group (actually a filtered colimit of compact Lie groups), and let $X$ be a manifold with an action (a proper one in fact) by a Lie group $H$. Let $X//H := (X\...
