Realizing spaces as classifying spaces

Abstract: Which spaces occur as a classifying space for fibrations with a given fibre? We address this question in the context of rational homotopy theory. We construct an infinite family of finite complexes realized (up to rational homotopy) as classifying spaces. We also give several non-realization results, including the following: the rational homotopy types of mathbbCP2 and S4 are not realized as the classifying space of any simply connected, rational space with finite-dimensional homotopy groups.
