Titel: The Segal Conjecture for Finite Groups 

Abstract:  One of the great triumphs of algebraic topology in the 1980's was the resolution of the Segal conjecture for finite groups. The interest in this problem before and after its resolution led to a flurry of work and developments in algebraic topology in the 1970's and 1980's by many people, culminating in a paper by Gunnar Carlsson. One implication of this is that even the literature for the full treatment of the core story for finite groups is quite scattered: the purpose of this note is then to gather and flesh out the various strands in the formulation and proof of this conjecture for finite groups, and we hope that this will provide an accessible one-stop resource for fellow graduate students and/or the interested non-specialist mathematician to what we think is a very beautiful story in algebraic topology
