In stable homotopy theory, a ring spectrum is a spectrum E together with a multiplication map
- μ:E ∧ E → E
and a unit map
- η:S → E,
where S is the sphere spectrum. These maps have to satisfy associativity and unitality conditions up to homotopy much in the same way as the multiplication of a ring is associative and unital. That is,
- μ (id ∧ μ) ∼ μ (μ ∧ id)
and
- μ (id ∧ η) ∼ id ∼ μ(η ∧ id).
Examples of ring spectra include singular homology with coefficients in a ring, complex cobordism, K-theory, and Morava K-theory.
