Abstract: We modify a previous result, which showed that certain diagrams of spaces are essentially simplicial monoids, to construct diagrams of spaces which model simplicial groups. Furthermore, we show that these diagrams can be generalized to models for Segal groupoids. We then modify Segal's model for simplicial abelian monoids in such a way that it becomes a model for simplicial abelian groups.

Review text

The author showed in a previous work [\textit{J. E. Bergner}, Simplicial monoids and Segal categories. Categories in algebra, geometry and mathematical physics. Conference and workshop in honor of Ross Street's 60th birthday, Sydney and Canberra, Australia, July 11--16/July 18--21, 2005. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). Contemporary Mathematics 431, 59--83 (2007; Zbl 1134.18006)] that certain diagrams of spaces are simplicial monoids. In this paper, focusing on diagrams of spaces which give one of the spaces the structure of a monoid, the argument is modified to obtain a diagram encoding the structure of a simplicial group rather than a simplicial monoid. As the construction for simplicial monoids generalizes to the many object case of simplicial categories, models for simplicial groupoids can be obtained as well. Finally, Segal's argument [\textit{G. Segal}, Topology 13, 293--312 (1974; Zbl 0284.55016)] for a model for simplicial abelian monoids is modified to obtain a model for simplicial abelian groups.
