   Format: MarkdownItextime for a table. I am experimenting with this here: | | [[(∞,1)-operad]] | [[∞-algebra over an (∞,1)-operad]] | groupal version | in [[Top]] | generally | |--|----------------|--------------------------------|----|--------|------| | | [[A-∞ operad]] | [[A-∞ algebra]] | [[∞-group]] | [[loop space]] | [[loop space object]] | | | [[E-k operad]] | [[E-k algebra]] | [[k-monoidal ∞-group]] | [[iterated loop space]] | [[iterated loop space object]] | | | [[E-∞ operad]] | [[E-∞ algebra]] | [[abelian ∞-group]] | [[infinite loop space]] | [[infinite loop space object]] | | | | | | $\simeq$ [[connective spectrum]] | $\simeq$ [[connective spectrum object]] | | **[[stabilization]]** | | | | [[spectrum]] | [[spectrum object]] | A version of this is currently at [[infinite loop space]], but I think I'll make it an include-entry now

   time for a table. I am experimenting with this here:

   	(∞,1)-operad	∞-algebra over an (∞,1)-operad	groupal version	in Top	generally
   	A-∞ operad	A-∞ algebra	∞-group	loop space	loop space object
   	E-k operad	E-k algebra	k-monoidal ∞-group	iterated loop space	iterated loop space object
   	E-∞ operad	E-∞ algebra	abelian ∞-group	infinite loop space	infinite loop space object
   				$\simeq$ connective spectrum	$\simeq$ connective spectrum object
   stabilization				spectrum	spectrum object

   A version of this is currently at infinite loop space, but I think I’ll make it an include-entry now

   Format: MarkdownItexA point that confused me for a long time is that the literature about infinite loop spaces isn't always clear whether or not they are intended to come equipped with a distinguished choice of deloopings. As I understand, the equivalences with notions of connective spectra and E∞ groups are only for when you equip infinite loop spaces with a distinguished choice of deloopings, so I've added language to that effect. Is there standard language for expressing this? My choice of language is to say "infinite loop space with a choice of deloopings" which feels awkward. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/infinite+loop+space/12">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/infinite+loop+space/12">v12</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/infinite+loop+space">current</a>
