Classifying spaces for 1-truncated compact Lie groups

Abstract: A 1-truncated compact Lie group is any extension of a finite group by a torus. In this note we compute the homotopy types of

M a p_{*} (B G, B H)

,

M a p (B G, B H)

, and

M a p (E G, B_{G} H)^{G}

for compact Lie groups

G

and

H

with

H

1-truncated, showing that they are computed entirely in terms of spaces of homomorphisms from

G

to

H

. These results generalize the well-known case when

H

is finite, and the case of

H

compact abelian due to Lashof, May, and Segal.
