Mod \(p\) retracts of \(G\)-product spaces (Q760042): Difference between revisions

Let \(G\) be a transitive permutation group of degree \(n\), \(n>1\), and \(X\) be a space. By an embedding \(X=X\times *\times\cdots\times *\subset (X)^n\to (X)^n/G\) we regard \(X\) as a subspace of \((X)^n/G\). In this paper we answer the following question: Let \(X\) be a nilpotent space and \(p\) be a prime or 0. When is \(X_{(p)}\) a retract of \((X_{(p)})^n/G ?\) One of the main tools is a geometrical transfer map.
