The notion of -module over an monoid object in an (∞,1)-category (for instance an A-∞ ring or E-∞ ring) is the generalization to (stable)homotopy theory of the notion of module over a ring.
See at module over an algebra over an (∞,1)-operad.
Let be an A-∞ ring. The (∞,1)-category of ∞-modules is a compactly generated (∞,1)-category and the compact objects coincide with the perfect modules
By the discussion an tangent (∞,1)-category we may realize -modules over as objects in the stabilization of the over-(∞,1)-category over :
Let be the (∞,1)-category of E-∞ rings and let . Then the stabilization of the over-(∞,1)-category over
is equivalentl to the category of -module spectra.
This is (Lurie, cor. 1.5.15).
For an ordinary ring, write for the corresponding Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum.
For any ring (or ringoid, even) there is a Quillen equivalence
between model structure on -module spectra and the model structure on chain complexes (unbounded) of ordinary -modules.
This presents a corresponding equivalence of (∞,1)-categories. If is a commutative ring, then this is an equivalence of symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-categories.
This equivalence on the level of homotopy categories is due to (Robinson). The refinement to a Quillen equivalence is (SchwedeShipley, theorem 5.1.6). See also the discussion at stable model categories. A direct description as an equivalence of -categories appears as (Lurie, theorem 7.1.2.13).
This is a stable version of the Dold-Kan correspondence.
See at algebra spectrum_ for the corresponding statement for -algebra spectra and dg-algebras.
For a topological space and a ring, let be the standard chain complex for singular homology of with coefficients in .
Under the stable Dold-Kan correspondence, prop. , this ought to be identified with the smash product of the suspension spectrum of with the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum. Notice that by the general theory of generalized homology the homotopy groups of the latter are again singular homology
While the correspondence under the above equivalence is suggestive, maybe nobody has really checked it in detail. It is sort of stated as true for instance on p. 15 of (BCT).
