Abstract:
We present a constructive method to compute the cellularization with respect to for any integer of a large class of -spaces, namely all those which have a finite number of non-trivial -homotopy groups (the pointed mapping space is a Postnikov piece). We prove in particular that the -cellularization of an -space having a finite number of -homotopy groups is a -torsion Postnikov piece. Along the way, we characterize the -cellular classifying spaces of nilpotent groups.
