Spectrum (Homotopy Theory)
In
mathematics
, a
spectrum
in
homotopy theory
is an object in a
category
constructed for the purposes of
stable homotopy theory
, starting with the category of
CW complexes
and aiming to make the
suspension functor
S
invertible
. This construction is originally due to
J. M. Boardman
. The objects of the
category of spectra
are sequences
E
n
of CW complexes as
pointed spaces
, such that
SE
n
is
homeomorphic
to a subcomplex of
E
n
+ 1.
Morphisms
in the category of spectra are defined in a non-obvious way, as a type of
partial function
, subject to an
equivalence relation
: essentially from the minimum mapping information that is possible, allowing
S
to be applied to bring any given cell into the domain. The construction is related, on a conceptual level at least, to that of the
derived category
, but using spaces rather than algebra.
