We introduce Γ-homology, the natural homology theory for E∞-algebras, and a cyclic version of it. Γ-homology specializes to a new homology theory for discrete commutative rings, very different in general from André–Quillen homology. We prove its general properties, including at base change and transitivity theorems. We give an explicit bicomplex for the Γ-homology of a discrete algebra, and elucidate connections with stable homotopy theory.

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.
