Abstract

We show that cellular approximations of nilpotent Postnikov stages are always nilpotent Postnikov stages and, in particular, classifying spaces of nilpotent groups are turned into classifying spaces of nilpotent groups. We use a modified Bousfield–Kan homology completion tower zk X whose terms are all X-cellular for any X.
