The motivation for this project comes from the study of the p-local homotopy theory of classifying spaces of finite groups, or more generally of compact Lie groups. By “plocal homotopy theory” of a space we mean the homotopy theory of its p-completion. It turns out that there is a close connection between the p-local homotopy theory of BG and the “p-local structure” of the group G, by which we mean the fusion (conjugacy relations) in a Sylow p-subgroup of G. This connection then suggested to us the construction of certain spaces (classifying spaces of “p-local finite groups” and “p-local compact groups”) which have many of the same properties as have p-completed classifying spaces of finite and compact Lie groups.A brief survey of the Bousfield-Kan p-completion functor will be given in Section 1. For the purpose of this introduction it suffices to say that this is a functor from spaces to spaces, which focuses on the properties of a space which are visible through its mod p homology.
