Abstract:
If G is any topological group then there exists a classifying space ${B_G}$. In this paper we shall exhibit a fiber bundle a over ${B_G}$ such that the Thom complex $B_G^\omega$ is homeomorphic to ${B_G}$. As an application we give a new proof of the Freudenthal Suspension Theorem.References
