Idea

A model structure on spectra for symmetric spectra

The category of symmetric spectra is a presentation of the symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of spectra, with the special property that it implements the smash product of spectra such as to yield itself a symmetric monoidal model category of spectra: the model structure on symmetric spectra. This implies in particular that with respect to this symmetric smash product of spectra an E-∞ ring is presented simply as a plain commutative monoid in symmetric spectra.

Properties

Relation to model structures on sequential spectra

There is a Quillen equivalence to the Bousfield-Friedlander model structure on sequential spectra (HoveyShipleySmith 00, section 4.3, Mandell-May-Schwede-Shipley 01, theorem 0.1).

Relation to model structure on 𝒮\mathcal{S}-modules

There is also a Quillen equivalence to the model structure on S-modules (Schwede 01)
