On The Homotopy Type of

We consider the homotopy type of classifying spaces , where is a finite -group, and we study the question whether or not the mod cohomology of , as an algebra over the Steenrod algebra together with the associated Bockstein spectral sequence, determine the homotopy type of . This article is devoted to producing some families of finite 2-groups where cohomological information determines the homotopy type of .
