On the homotopy theory of $\mathbf{G}$ - spaces

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show that the most elementary homotopy theory of $\mathbf{G}$-spaces is equivalent to a homotopy theory of simplicial sets over $\mathbf{BG}$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is a fixed group. Both homotopy theories are presented as Relative categories. We establish the equivalence by constructing a strict homotopy equivalence between the two relative categories. No Model category structure is assumed on either Relative Category.
