Abstract
We prove that completion preserves homotopy fibre squares of connected nilpotent spaces. As an application, we deduce the Hasse fracture square associated to a connected nilpotent space. Along the way, we record some closure properties of the category of T-complete nilpotent groups, where T is a non-empty set of primes.
