Correction to: ``The Boolean algebra of spectra'' (Q789051)

Summary: [Concerns the author's paper ibid. 54, 368-377 (1979; Zbl 0421.55002)]. J. M. Boardman and others have pointed out an error in my proof of Proposition 1.5. Namely, the presentation of the CW-spectrum \(B_{\lambda}/A\) as the homotopy cofibre of 1-g on p. 371 is incorrect for a general limit ordinal \(\lambda\). The error arose when I wrongly simplified an earlier proof, and the proposition remains valid. As suggested by Boardman, the proof can be repaired by using the equivalence of \(B_{\lambda}/A\) with the homotopy colimit C of the transfinite sequence \(\{B_ s/A\}_{s<\lambda}\).
