But one caveat: it is not ``the'' $E_{\infty}$ operad. It is crucial to use two suitably related $E_{\infty}$ operads, and I wish I knew more such operad pairs than I do. | |
| Jul 6, 2016 at 11:01 | comment | added | Eric Peterson | Chapter VII (and the beginning of Chapter VI) of May's LNM volume "$E_\infty$ Ring Spaces and $E_\infty$ Ring Spectra" is about doing exactly this: a recognition principle for connective $E_\infty$ ring spectra as spaces with two actions of the $E_\infty$ operad which distribute appropriately. | |
