On Levin's generalization of the plus construction

Abstract

We present a proof of the following theorem of Levin: For every connected CW complex $K$ there is a simply connected CW complex $K^{+}$ obtained from $K$ by attaching cells of dimension 2 and 3 such that the inclusion $K\to K^{+}$ induces isomorphisms of homology groups in dimension $>1$.
