Homotopy colimits of classifying spaces of finite abelian groups

The classifying space BG of a topological group G can be filtered by a sequence of subspaces B(q,G) using the descending central series of free groups. If G is finite, describing them as homotopy colimits is convenient when applying homotopy theoretic methods. In this thesis we introduce natu...
