Infinite-dimensional Quaternionic Projective Space
The space is the classifying space BS3. The homotopy groups of are given by . These groups are known to be very complex and in particular they are non-zero for infinitely many values of . However, we do have that if and if . It follows that rationally, i.e. after localisation of a space, is an Eilenberg–Maclane space . That is . (cf. the example K(Z,2)). See rational homotopy theory.

Famous quotes containing the word space:
“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
