Subject: RE: cofibrant G-space Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 19:31:51 +0100 From: "Neil Strickland" To: "Don Davis" If I remember rightly (1) Most of Strom's work reduces to constructions with neighbourhood deformation retracts, and with the data that prove that a subspace has the NDR property. (2) All his constructions are so canonical that they can immediately be made equivariant. (3) At least part of this programme was carried out by Peter May and/or his collaborators, with emphasis on the symmetric groups. They needed it to prove that certain operadic bar constructions etc had reasonable homotopical properties. I think that some of this work, or at least a reference to it, may be in the book "E_\infty ring spaces and E_\infty ring spectra". But I am trying to remember things that I have not looked at for a long time.
