Group action

Category of G-spaces

The category of (left) 𝐺-spaces 𝐺𝖲𝖾𝗍 for a given group 𝐺 consists of sets (left-)acted on by 𝐺 (called a (left-)𝐺-space) with 𝐺-(left-)equivariant maps as morphisms. #m/def/group A (left-)equivariant map 𝑓 ∈𝐺𝖲𝖾𝗍(𝑋,𝑌) is a function 𝑓 :𝑋 →𝑌 satisfying

𝑓(𝑔⋅𝑥)=𝑔⋅𝑓(𝑥)

for any 𝑥 ∈𝑋 and 𝑔 ∈𝐺. An isomorphism of 𝐺-spaces is sometimes called an equivalence of actions.
