DESCRIPTION:Jérôme Scherer (EPFL)\nThis is joint work with Wojciech Chac
 hólski\, Emmanuel Dror Farjoun\, and Ramón Flores. One property of class
 ifying spaces of discrete groups is that the pointed mapping space map*(BG
 \, BG) is (homotopically) discrete\, more precisely the fundamental group 
 functor induces an equivalence with Hom(G\, G). Which other spaces have th
 is property? For nilpotent spaces\, only classifying spaces do!\nTo attack
  this problem we study cellular properties of nilpotent spaces. We show in
  particular that a nilpotent space X "constructs" any of its Postnikov sec
 tions\, hence K(pi1 X\, 1). I will explain our strategy of this cellularit
 y statement and how it implies the claim about mapping spaces.
