Abstract
A p-compact group is the homotopical ghost of a compact Lie group; it is the residue that remains after the geometry and algebra have been stripped away. This paper sketches the theory of p-compact groups, with the intention of illustrating the fact that many classical structural properties of compact Lie groups depend only on homotopy theoretic considerations.
