Let $X$ be a CW-complex on which a group $G$ acts. How does the CW-complex structure of $X/G$ relates to that of $X$?

    Wouldn't this depend a lot on the way the group acts on $X$? Like, is it effective, transitive, free, etc. etc.?2011-12-07

    i don't know, for example $S^2$ has one 0-cell and one 2-cell and its quotient by $\mathbb Z_2$ has one $i$-cell for $i=0,1,2$.2011-12-07

    The other thing is, there are lots of different CW structures you can put on a space, so this complicates it a little.2011-12-07
