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.
