Abstract: We study the mod-ell homotopy type of classifying spaces for commutativity, B(mathbbZ,G), at a prime ell. We show that the mod-ell homology of B(mathbbZ,G) depends on the mod-ell homotopy type of BG when G is a compact connected Lie group, in the sense that a mod-ell homology isomorphism BGoBH for such groups induces a mod-ell homology isomorphism B(mathbbZ,G)oB(mathbbZ,H). In order to prove this result, we study a presentation of B(mathbbZ,G) as a homotopy colimit over a topological poset of closed abelian subgroups, expanding on an idea of Adem and G'omez. We also study the relationship between the mod-ell type of a Lie group G(mathbbC) and the locally finite group where G is a Chevalley group. We see that the na"ive analogue for B(mathbbZ,G) of the celebrated Friedlander--Mislin result cannot hold, but we show that it does hold after taking the homotopy quotient of a G action on B(mathbbZ,G).
