Loop spaces and infinite braids

Yes, $B \beta_\infty$ is homology equivalent to $\Omega^2_0 S^2$, the zero component of the double loop space of $S^2$. The map $B_\infty \to S_\infty$ induces the obvious stablisation map $\Omega^2_0 …

On the homological dimension of a Borel construction

I think $f: M /\!\!/ G \to B\Gamma$ cannot be nontrivial on $\mathbb{Q}$-(co)homology in degrees beyond the dimension of $M$, because I think one can find a factorisation $$f_* : H_*(M /\!\!/ G ; \mat …
