For an abelian group, then the Moore spectrum (often ) of is the spectrum characterized by having the following homotopy groups:
;
;
.
Here is the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum of the integers and .
A basic special case of -Bousfield localization of spectra is given by the Moore spectrum of an abelian group . For this is p-localization and for this is p-completion.
For and two abelian groups then the following are equivalent
the Bousfield localizations at their Moore spectra are equivalent
and have the same type of acyclicity, meaning that
every prime number is invertible in precisely if it is in ;
is a torsion group precisely if is.
(Bousfield 79, prop. 2.3) recalled e.g. in (VanKoughnett 13, prop. 4.2).
This means that given an abelian group then
either is not torsion, then
where is the set of primes invertible in and is the localization at these primes of the integers;
or is torsion, then
where the direct sum is over all cyclic groups of order for a prime not invertible in .
