We develop a generalization of the theory of Thom spectra using the language of ∞-categories. This treatment exposes the conceptual underpinnings of the Thom spectrum functor: we use a new model of parameterized spectra, and our definition is motivated by the geometric definition of Thom spectra of May–Sigurdsson. For anA∞-ring spectrumR, we associate a Thom spectrum to a map of ∞-categories from the ∞-groupoid of a spaceXto the ∞-category of free rank oneR-modules, which we show is a model forBGL1R; we show thatBGL1Rclassifies homotopy sheaves of rank oneR-modules, which we callR-line bundles. We use ourR-module Thom spectrum to define the twistedR-homology and cohomology ofR-line bundles over a space classified by a mapX→BGL1R, and we recover the generalized theory of orientations in this context. In order to compare this approach to the classical theory, we characterize the Thom spectrum functor axiomatically, from the perspective of Morita theory.
