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 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 -spaces, , where 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 -space , an "equivariant Postnikov tower" which in degree has viewed as a space with a coherent action of (the Segal group corresponding to) .
