Relationship between the p-radical subgroups and the parabolics in a BN-pair generality

A theorem of Quillen says that if $G$ is a finite Chevalley group over characteristic $p$, then the poset $\mathcal{A}_p(G)$ of nontrivial elementary abelian subgroups of $G$ is homotopy equivalent (I ...

Non-triviality of map $S^{24} \longrightarrow S^{21} \longrightarrow Sp(3)$

Let $\theta$ be the generator of $\pi_{21}(Sp(3))\cong \mathbb{Z}_3$, (localized at 3). How to show the composition $$S^{24}\longrightarrow S^{21}\overset{\theta}\longrightarrow Sp(3)$$ is non-trivial ...

The homotopy type of the mapping space $Map_{B\rho}(BS^1,BG)$? for $G$ a compact Lie group

Given a homomorphism $\rho:S^1\rightarrow G$ with $G$ a compact Lie group there is an induced map of classifying spaces $B\rho:BS^1\rightarrow BG$. What is known about the homotopy type of the mapping ...

Triviality of map $(\Sigma \theta)^*$

We know that there is a cofibration sequence $$S^{4n+1}\xrightarrow{\theta}\Sigma^{4m-1} Q_{n-m} \rightarrow \Sigma^{4m-1} Q_{n-m+1} \rightarrow S^{4n+2}\xrightarrow{\Sigma\theta}\Sigma^{4m} Q_{n-m}.$$...

Homology functors and weak cofibers

I'm looking at a remark in the paper Kainen, Paul C., "Weak Adjoint Functors", Mathematische Zeitschrift 122 (1971). It is supposed to prove that generalized homology functors fail to ...
