Definition

A prespectrum is a sequence of pointed types? $E: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathcal{U}_*$ and a sequence of pointed maps $e : (n : \mathbb{Z}) \to E_n \to \Omega E_{n+1}$. Typically a prespectrum is denoted $E$ when it is clear.

A spectrum (or $\Omega$-spectrum) is a prespectrum in which each $e_n$ is an equivalence.
