Segal Group Actions

Abstract

We define a model category structure on a slice category of simplicial spaces, called the "Segal group action" structure whose fibrant-cofibrant objects may be viewed as representing spaces XX with a coherent action of a given Segal group (i.e. a group-like, reduced Segal space). We show that this model structure is Quillen equivalent to the projective model structure on GG-spaces, SBG\mathcal{S}^{\mathbb{B}G}, where GG is a simplicial group represented by this Segal group. Since Segal group actions are invariant under weak monoidal endofunctors of spaces they enable to construct, for an arbitrary GG-space XX, an "equivariant Postnikov tower" which in degree nn has PnXP_nX viewed as a space with a coherent action of (the Segal group corresponding to) PnGP_nG.
