The Orbit Functor and Its Right Adjoint

Let us consider a functor O:G-SetSet.

For a G-Set X, O(X):=X/G is the set of orbits. For an G-map f, we have f(gx)=gf(x) hence it maps orbit of x to orbit of f(x).

This functor admits a right adjoint, Δ:SetG-Set. For each set X, Δ(X) is the G-Set with trivial action.

HomSet(O(X),Y)HomGSet(X,Δ(Y))

You could replace Set by Top to get similar results.
