Algebras Realized by n Rational Homotopy Types

From MaRDI portal





Using rational perturbation theory as developed by Halperin, Stasheff and Schlessinger, the author proves the following theorem. Let \(n\) be a natural number and let \(X=S^ 5\vee S^{4n+4}\vee S^{4n+13}\vee S^{4n+17}\vee\dots\vee S^{8n+9}\). Then there are exactly \(n+1\) rational homotopy types \(Y\) such that \(H^*(X;{\mathbb{Q}})\approx H^*(Y;{\mathbb{Q}})\) (as algebras). A similar example shows that for any \(n\) there is a product of Eilenberg- MacLane spaces \(X\) such that there are exactly \(n+1\) rational homotopy types \(Y\) such that \(\pi_ *(\Omega X)\otimes {\mathbb{Q}}\approx\pi_ *(\Omega Y)\otimes{\mathbb{Q}}\) (as Lie algebras).
