Jun 16, 2015 at 14:04 comment added Sean Tilson @QiaochuYuan It feels a bit like you are addressing the obvious part and not the interesting part of the question. I think Jon is aware of what you are saying, but I could be wrong. Heaven knows it has happened before.
Jun 16, 2015 at 3:11 comment added Qiaochu Yuan @Jon: the data of an action of a grouplike $E_1$ space $G$ on an object of an $\infty$-category $C$ is precisely the data of a functor $BG \to C$. So the data of a functor $X \to C$ is precisely the data of a functor $B \Omega X \to C$, which is in turn precisely the data of an $\Omega X$-action on an object of $C$.
Jun 16, 2015 at 1:40 comment added Jonathan Beardsley @QiaochuYuan that comment is not helpful at all. Obviously I understand that $X\simeq B\Omega X$. If I knew why that implied what I'm describing above, I wouldn't have asked the question.
Jun 14, 2015 at 21:21 comment added Qiaochu Yuan $X$ needs to be a based and connected space.
Jun 14, 2015 at 16:36 comment added Tom Goodwillie I think that the first occurrence of $X$ in the second paragraph was meant to be $\Omega X$.
