Stable Model Categories, Spectra, and the Monoidal

Job: develop the stable model categories (triangulated \(\mathrm{Ho}\)), the spectra (sequential / symmetric / orthogonal), the monoidal (pushout-product), and the ring spectra / \(E_\infty\) — with the \(\mathrm{Sp}\) stable / smash as the worked example.

Core

The stable model categories

Stable / triangulated / \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\) Description
Stable model category \(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathcal{M})\) triangulated, \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\) Quillen equivalence (the homological algebra)
Triangulated the \(\mathrm{Ho}\) the triangulated, the distinguished triangles (the homological algebra)

The spectra and the model structures

Spectra / sequential / symmetric / orthogonal Description
Spectra \(\mathrm{Sp}\) the sequential / symmetric / orthogonal spectra (the topology)
Stable model the \(\mathrm{Sp}\) the stable model, the \(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Sp})\) the stable homotopy (the topology)

The monoidal model and the pushout-product

Monoidal / pushout-product / unit / smash Description
Monoidal model \(\otimes\) the pushout-product axiom, unit axiom (the homological algebra)
Smash \(\wedge\) the \(\wedge\) the pushout-product, the topology

The ring spectra and the commutative

Ring spectra / \(A\) / \(E_\infty\) / SAG Description
Ring spectra the \(A\) the monoid in \(\mathrm{Sp}\) (the higher categories)
\(E_\infty\) / commutative the \(E_\infty\)-ring, the SAG / foundations

See it

\(\mathrm{Sp}\) the stable model and the smash / pushout-product. The \(\mathrm{Sp}\): the stable (\(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Sp})\) the triangulated, the \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\), the homological algebra). The smash: the \(\wedge\) the monoidal (the pushout-product axiom, the unit axiom, the homological algebra). The \(E_\infty\): the commutative ring spectra (the SAG / foundations). The key point: the \(\mathrm{Sp}\) the stable, the \(\wedge\) the monoidal, the \(E_\infty\) the SAG.

Check

Show that the \(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Sp})\) is triangulated and the \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\) is the Quillen equivalence.

The \(\mathrm{Sp}\): the stable model category, the \(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Sp})\) the triangulated (the \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\) the Quillen equivalence, the \(\Sigma\) the suspension, \(\Omega\) the loop, the \(\mathrm{Ho}(\Sigma X)\cong\mathrm{Ho}(\Omega X)\) the stable, the homological algebra). The triangulated: the \(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Sp})\) the triangulated (the distinguished triangles, the homological algebra). So the \(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Sp})\) the triangulated, the \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\) the Quillen.

Explain the monoidal model pushout-product and the \(E_\infty\)-ring.

The monoidal model: the \(\otimes\) the pushout-product axiom (the \(f\wedge g\) the acyclic if \(f\) or \(g\) the acyclic, the homological algebra), the unit axiom (the \(I\otimes-\) the Quillen). The \(E_\infty\): the \(A\) the \(E_\infty\)-ring (the commutative monoid in \(\mathrm{Sp}\), the SAG / foundations, the higher categories). The \(\mathrm{MGL}\): the motivic homotopy / algebraic cobordism. So the monoidal the pushout-product, the \(E_\infty\) the SAG.

Pitfalls

  • The stable the triangulated (\(\mathrm{Ho}(\mathcal{M})\), the \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\), the homological algebra) — the stable the triangulated, the \(\Sigma\dashv\Omega\) the Quillen.
  • The spectra the sequential / symmetric / orthogonal (the topology) — the symmetric the monoidal, the sequential the simple.
  • The monoidal the pushout-product (the \(f\wedge g\), the unit, the homological algebra) — the pushout-product the acyclic, the unit the Quillen.
  • The \(E_\infty\) the [SAG] (the spectral-algebraic-geometry/foundations) — the \(E_\infty\) the commutative, the SAG.
