Is there a (discrete) monoid M injecting into its group completion G for which BM is not hom...
For a (discrete) monoid $M$, the classifying space $BM$ is the
geometric realization of the nerve of the one object category whose
hom-set is $M$. (This definition gives the usual classfiying space

Homotopy fiber of a map between classifying spaces
I'm looking for a reference (and precise hypothesis if more are needed) for the following facts (or a correction, if I'm just plain wrong):
Let $G$ and $H$ be topological groups and $f : G \to H$ be a …
