Tame Homotopy Theory and Transformation Groups

The objective of the seminar will be to understand Hanke's work [Han09]. Along the way we will study general applications of rational homotopy to the theory of transformation groups, and its extension to tame homotopy theory, which deals with Fp-coefficients. There will be a few preliminary sessions on the theory of transformation groups and on rational homotopy before we move on to reading Hanke's paper.
