Nucinkis's conjecture on finite-dimensional classifying spaces for proper actions

About 14 years old · traced to

Let GG be a group, and let F⁡cd⁡G\operatorname{\mathfrak{F}}\operatorname{cd}G denote its cohomological dimension with respect to the family F⁡\operatorname{\mathfrak{F}} of finite subgroups. Write E⁡F⁡G\operatorname{E}_{\operatorname{\mathfrak{F}}}G for the classifying space for proper actions.

Nucinkis's conjecture. Every group of finite F⁡\operatorname{\mathfrak{F}}-cohomological dimension admits a finite-dimensional model for E⁡F⁡G\operatorname{E}_{\operatorname{\mathfrak{F}}}G.

The conjecture is motivated by bounds relating Bredon cohomological invariants to finite-dimensional models for proper actions. The source presents it as an open conjecture and attributes it to the second author.
