Finite spaces and the universal bundle of a group

Comment.Math.Univ.Carolinae 38,4 (1997) 791-799.

Abstract:We find sufficient conditions for a cotriad of which the objects are locally trivial fibrations, in order that the push-out be a locally trivial fibration. As an application, the universal $G$-bundle of a finite group $G$, and the classifying space is modeled by locally finite spaces. In particular, if $G$ is finite, then the universal $G$-bundle is the limit of an ascending chain of finite spaces. The bundle projection is a covering projection.

Keywords: covering projection, fibration, finite space, push-out
