With a simplicial complex X there is associated a commutative differential graded algebra of polynomial differential forms T(X) together with a filtration T*>*(X) C T*><* + \X) in each degree *. T*«(X) is a differential graded module over the subring of the rationals Zίi*. , q] The deRham theorem for such a complex T(X) is proved. We have demonstrated elsewhere that the refined deRham complex T( X) makes it possible to substantially refine most of the results of the rational homotopy theory. In particular we defined the homotopy category of C'N spaces which is equivalent to an algebraic homotopy category of (TV -1) connected free commutative differential graded algebras over the integers, satisfying a simple algebraic condition on cohomology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
