SUMMARY:Finiteness conditions for classifying spaces for the family of vir
 tually cyclic subgroups. - Brita Nucinkis (Royal Holloway\, University of 
 London)

DESCRIPTION:A conjecture of Juan-Pineda and Leary states that any group ad
 mitting a cocompact model for the classifying space for the family of virt
 ually cyclic subgroups has to be virtually cyclic already. This conjecture
  has been proved for large classes of groups. In this talk I will give an 
 overview of some of these results and constructions\, &nbsp\;will discuss 
 a weakened condition for these spaces\, and will give examples of groups s
 atisfying this condition.<br><br><br><br>
