A homotopy type of a p–group with cyclic centre
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
Let G be a p–group with cyclic L(G) = Z. Then L(G) = {Z < H ≦ G|H′ ∩ Z = (1)}, a poset ordered under inclusion. Then the associated simplicial complex |L(G)| is homotopic to a bouquet of spheres. A subgroup E of G is called a CES if CG (E) = Z = L(E) and if E/Z is elementary. Then |L(G)| is homotopic to the one-point union of the |L(E)| for all CES's E in G. If |E/Z| = p2n then |L(E)| is homotopic to a one-point union of pn2 (n– 1)-spheres.
