Abstract: This talk will explore the Bousfield-Kan completion of spaces, homology localization of spaces, and the corresponding notions of completion and Bousfield localization for groups. In particular, we will discuss a series of results related to the Bousfield problem concerning the homology of group completions, as well as the phenomenon of rationally bad spaces.
