Models for Eilenberg-MacLane space K(Z,3)

Denote by $U(H)$ and $PU(H)$ the unitary and projective unitary groups on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$. Recall that $U(H)$ is contractible by Kuiper's theorem and that $PU(H)$ is a $K(Z,2)...

Theorem of Kuiper for Hilbert spaces with group action

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable complex Hilbert space with Lie group action (I am mostly interested in the case $S^1$). Let $\text{Gl}_{G}(H)$ be the space of invertible, bounded and ...

Is $GL_{S^1}(H)$ (for $H$ Hilbert space ) path-connected?

Due to the negative answer to my last question I want to know if at least the following is true: Let H be an infinite dimensional separable complex Hilbert space with $S^1$-action. Let $\text{Gl}_{S^...
