Title: Eilenberg-MacLane Spaces
Abstract: A space X is a K(G,n) if \pi_n(X)=G and \pi_i(X)=0 if i\neq n. An interesting aspect is that the homotopy type of a CW comples K(G,n) is uniquely determined by G and n. We will investigate the construction of K(G,1), otherwise known as BG, for an arbitrary (discrete) group G, the homology of K(G,1) spaces, and the infinite symmetric product SP(X).
