Abstract

The principal aim of this thesis is to construct K(G, 1) spaces for any given groupGwith discrete topology. The general construction of universalG-bundles and classifying spaces by Milnor is used to acheive this. Uniqueness of K(G, 1) spaces is established for a particular class of groups G. Milnor’s construction relies on the join of spaces. A major theme of this thesis is to compare various topological joins. We extend the notion of joins for an arbitrary family of spaces.
