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
En
of CW complexes as pointed spaces, such that
SEn
is homeomorphic to a subcomplex of En + 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.
