Abstract

$p$-local finite groups are combinatorial models for $p$-completed classifying spaces of finite groups. Albeit not groups in their own right, one wishes to develop a theory that would parallel the theory of actions of (honest, not "$p$-local") groups on sets. We present two approaches - a homotopy theoretic and a combinatorial one. Using the first approach we obtain some results on maps between the classifying spaces of $p$-local finite groups.
