  The spectral Sullivan conjecture

  The Sullivan conjecture, proven by Miller in 1984, says that the space of pointed maps from $BC_p$ to a finite dimensional CW-complex is contractible. I will explain a generalization of this, where $BC_p$ can be replaced with any connected $p$-nilpotent infinite loop space. I will also describe some consequences and questions surrounding this result.
