Abstract

Let $G$ be a discrete group for which the classifying space for proper $G$ –actions is finite-dimensional. We find a space $W$ such that for any such $G$ , the classifying space $\underline{B} G$ for proper $G$ –bundles has the homotopy type of the $W$ –nullification of $B G$ . We use this to deduce some results concerning $\underline{B} G$ and in some cases where there is a good model for $\underline{B} G$ we obtain information about the $B ℤ ∕ p$ –nullification of $B G$ .
