Abstract

We establish an algebraic version of the classical result that a G-map f between G-complexes which restricts to a homotopy equivalence f(H) on H-fixed sets for all subgroups H of G is a G-homotopy equivalence. This is used to give an alternative proof of a theorem of Bouc. We also include a number of illustrations and applications.
