Extract

We introduce a new construction in stable homotopy theory. If F and G are module spectra over a ring spectrum E, there is no well-known spectrum of E-module homomorphisms from F to G. Such a construction would not be homotopy invariant, and therefore would not serve much purpose. We show that, provided the rings and modules have A structures, there is a spectrum RHomE(F, G) of derived module homomorphisms which has very pleasant properties. It is homotopy invariant, exact in each variable, and its homotopy groups form the abutment of a hypercohomology-type spectral sequence.
