Abstract: The (dual) Dold-Kan correspondence says that there is an equivalence of categories K:chaoAbDelta between nonnegatively graded cochain complexes and cosimplicial abelian groups, which is inverse to the normalization functor. We show that the restriction of K to DG-rings can be equipped with an associative product and that the resulting functor DGRoassDelta, although not itself an equivalence, does induce one at the level of homotopy categories. The dual of this result for chain DG and simplicial rings was obtained independently by S. Schwede and B. Shipley through different methods ({it Equivalences of monoidal model categories}. Algebraic and Geometric Topology 3 (2003), 287-334). Our proof is based on a functor Q:DGRoassDelta, naturally homotopy equivalent to K, which preserves the closed model structure. It also has other interesting applications. For example, we use Q to prove a noncommutative version of the Hochschild-Konstant-Rosenberg and Loday-Quillen theorems. Our version applies to the cyclic module that arises from a homomorphism RoS of not necessarily commutative rings when the coproduct coprodR of associative R-algebras is substituted for otimesR. As another application of the properties of Q, we obtain a simple, braid-free description of a product on the tensor power SotimesRn originally defined by P. Nuss using braids ({it Noncommutative descent and nonabelian cohomology,} K-theory {�f 12} (1997) 23-74.).
