Abstract: Roughly speaking, a homology decomposition of the classifying space
BG of a finite group G is a way to construct the classifying space BG up to mod
p cohomology by glueing
spaces of simpler homotopy types. In this talk, we
will discuss the Dwyer's notion of "homology decompositions" for
classifying spaces of finite groups.
