Abstract
In 1976, Kan and Thurston proved the theorem that any path-connected space is homology equivalent to the classifying space of some discrete group . In 1979, McDuff proved a homotopy version of it: any path-connected space has the same weak homotopy type as the classifying space of some discrete monoid . In 1984, Fiedorowicz reproved McDuff's theorem using a largely categorical construction. In this paper we will generalize Fiedorowicz's proof of McDuff's theorem to the equivariant case. Precisely, we will prove that any -connected space with a -fixed basepoint has the same weak homotopy type as the classifying space of some discrete -monoid.
