Location: Room 3721, Department of Mathematics, KTH, Lindstedtsvägen 25, 7th floor

Lie groups are ubiquitous objects in mathematics. We will review the approach to Lie groups from the homotopy theorist point of view. We will discuss the local structure of finite loop spaces and some new interactions of algebra and topology.
