On the classification problem of the quasi-isomorphism classes of 1-connected minimal free cochain algebras (Q930862)

The purpose of this paper is to classify the quasi-isomorphism classes of \(1\)-connected minimal free cochain algebras over a commutative ring. Quasi-isomorphisms are cochain morphisms inducing ismorphisms in cohomology. The main tool used is what the author calls the Whitehead exact sequence associated with a 1-connected minimal free cochain algebra, and the notion of coherent isomorphisms between these exact sequences. Whitehead sequences were originally introduced [\textit{J. H. C. Whitehead}, Ann. Math. 52, No. 2, 51--110 (1950; Zbl 0037.26101)] in a topological context, and their ideas have been followed in [\textit{H.-J. Baues}, Homotopy type and homology. Oxford: Clarendon Press (1996; Zbl 0857.55001)] to construct a long exact sequence associated with every flat chain algebra on a commutative ring. Baues work was generalized by the author in [\textit{M. Benkhalifa}, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 210, No. 2, 343--362 (2007; Zbl 1122.55007)]. In this paper, the author shows that two 1-connected minimal free cochain algebras are quasi-isomorphic if and only if their respective Whitehead exact sequences are coherently isomorphic.
