The homotopy theory of equivariant posets

Abstract

Let GG be a discrete group. We prove that the category of GG-posets admits a model structure that is Quillen equivalent to the standard model structure on GG-spaces. As is already true nonequivariantly, the three classes of maps defining the model structure are not well understood calculationally. To illustrate, we exhibit some examples of cofibrant and fibrant posets and an example of a non-cofibrant finite poset.
