Abstract: The results of a previous paper on the equivariant homotopy theory of crossed complexes are generalised from the case of a discrete group to general topological groups. The principal new ingredient necessary for this is an analysis of homotopy coherence theory for crossed complexes, using detailed results on the appropriate Eilenberg-Zilber theory from Tonks' thesis, and of its relation to simplicial homotopy coherence. Again, our results give information not just on the homotopy classification of certain equivariant maps, but also on the weak equivariant homotopy type of the corresponding equivariant function spaces.

Review text

A CW complex has a fundamental crossed complex; this is a slightly non-abelian variant of the singular chain complex which takes account of the fundamental groupoid. The fundamental crossed complex functor is left adjoint to a classifying space functor, and the adjunction has a simplicial enrichment; it therefore gives information about sets of homotopy classes. In [Indag. Math., New Ser. 8, No. 2, 157-172 (1997; Zbl 0898.55009)] the authors gave an equivariant analogue valid over a large class of Hausdorff topological groups, for example totally disconnected groups; the fundamental crossed complex is replaced by a diagram of crossed complexes. They now extend their result to arbitrary Hausdorff topological groups. They need a theory of coherence for crossed complexes, which they obtain from Eilenberg-Zilber homotopies.
