Title: Continuity of p-perfection for compact Lie groups Authors: Halvard Fausk and Bob Oliver Author's e-mail address: fausk@math.uio.no and bob@math.univ-paris13.fr AMS classification number: 55P91 Abstract: Let G be a compact Lie group, and let pi be any prime or set of primes. We construct a ``pi-perfection map'': a continuous function from the space of conjugacy classes of all closed subgroups of G to the space of conjugacy classes of pi-perfect subgroups with finite index in their normalizer. We use this to show that the idempotent elements of the Burnside ring of G localized at pi are in bijective correspondence with the open and closed subsets of the space of conjugacy classes of pi-perfect subgroups of G with finite index in their normalizer.
