Subject: Question for Toplist Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 16:12:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Claude Schochet Suppose that G is a separable metric topological group (probably not compact) which has the homotopy type of a CW complex. In addition, each homotopy group of G is countable. (In the examples I'm thinking of \pi _n = \pi _{n+2}, so there are an infinite number of non-zero homotopy groups). What does one have to assume about G in order to conclude that a) G has the homotopy type of a countable CW complex b) G has the homotopy type of a CW complex of finite type c) G is of the rational homotopy type of a product of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. Thanks! Claude
