Resumen:
We study the homotopy properties of the posets of $p$-subgroups $S_p(G)$ and $A_p(G)$ of a finite group $G$, viewed as finite topological spaces. We answer a question raised by R.E. Stong in 1984 about the relationship between the contractibility of the finite space $A_p(G)$ and that of $S_p(G)$ negatively, and describe the contractibility of $A_p(G)$ in terms of algebraic properties of the group $G$.
