To get an intuitive feeling for the characteristics of H ′ {\displaystyle H'} -spaces, it is instructive to consider an important class of such spaces, the suspensions. The suspension of an arbitrary topological space Y {\displaystyle Y} is defined to be the quotient space of Y × I {\displaystyle Y\times I} where Y × 0 {\displaystyle Y\times 0} is identified to one point and Y × 1 {\displaystyle Y\times 1} is identified to another point. For example, the suspension of a circle is a cylinder with the two ends collapsed into one point each; in other words, a space homeomorphic to a sphere.

A model category is called pointed if the initial object and terminal object are the same. The homotopy category of any pointed model category acquires a suspension functor denoted by Σ {\displaystyle \Sigma } . It turns out that Ho ( M ) {\displaystyle {\text{Ho}}(M)} is a pre-triangulated category in a natural way […]. When the suspension is an equivalence, M {\displaystyle M} is called a stable model category, and in this case Ho ( M ) {\displaystyle {\text{Ho}}(M)} becomes a triangulated category […].
