Abstract: We propose a generalization of Sullivan's de Rham homotopy theory to non-simply connected spaces. The formulation is such that the real homotopy type of a manifold should be the closed tensor dg-category of flat bundles on it much the same as the real homotopy type of a simply connected manifold is the de Rham algebra in original Sullivan's theory. We prove the existence of a model category structure on the category of small closed tensor dg-categories and as a most simple case, confirm an equivalence between the homotopy category of spaces whose fundamental groups are finite and whose higher homotopy groups are finite dimensional rational vector spaces and the homotopy category of small closed tensor dg-categories satisfying certain conditions.

Review text

The author gives a generalization to spaces with finite fundamental group of \textit{D. Sullivan}'s rational homotopy theory of simply connected spaces [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 47, 269--331 (1977; Zbl 0374.57002)]. The formulation is here given in dgCat, the category of small dg-categories. The author defines a subcategory dgCat\(_{cl}\) consisting of ``closed tensor dg-categories (a variant of closed symmetric monoidal categories) and obtains an equivalence between the homotopy categories of rational simplicial spaces with finite fundamental group and a full subcategory of dgCat\(_{cl}.\) The key step is the proof that dgCat\(_{cl}\) admits a Quillen closed model structure. This latter result depends upon work of Tabuada who proved the corresponding result for dgCat and gave an extension of Quillen's path object to this setting [\textit{G. Tabuada}, C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 340, No.~1, 15--19 (2005; Zbl 1060.18010); and J. K-Theory 3, No.~1, 53--75 (2009; Zbl 1170.18007)]. An important geometric feature of Sullivan's work is also extended. The author shows that the real homotopy type of a smooth manifold \(M\) is given by this theory as the closed tensor dg-category of flat bundles over \(M\).
