The classifying space BG of a group G classifies principal G-bundles, in that homotopy classes of maps [X, BG] are naturally identified with isomorphism classes of principal G-bundles P ⭢ X.

Positive instances of the Eilenberg-Ganea conjecture with families
The original Eilenberg-Ganea conjecture, which remains unsettled, can be formulated as: any (discrete) group $G$ of cohomological dimension $\operatorname{cd}(G)=2$ has geometric dimension $\operatorn …

Manifold approximations to $BO(3)$
We know that $BO(1) =\mathbb{R}P^\infty$ has closed, finite-dimensional manifold approximations $\mathbb{R}P^1\subset \mathbb{R}P^2\subset\cdots.$
Similarly $BO(2)$ can be approximated by closed, fin …

Monodromy action on homogeneous spaces
If $H$ is a Lie subgroup of $G$, then there is a fibration sequence
$$
G/H\to BH\to BG.
$$
By choosing a model for $EG$ we can promote this into a fibre bundle.
My question is about how to understand …

Geometric vs cohomological dimension with families - on a proof of Lueck and Meintrup
Let $G$ be a discrete group, and let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subgroups of $G$ (closed under conjugation and taking subgroups). Then we may define the geometric and cohomological dimensions of $G$ …
