Analogues of Sullivan Theory at a prime for coformality

In rational homotopy theory, one can study the rational homotopy and cohomology categories via an algebraic structure, respectively the rational Lie Algebra model and the Sullivan cdga model. If I am ...

Relation between $Tor_{C^*(BG;K)}(K,K) $ and $K^G$?

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field and $G$ a group. Given a dg-algebra $A$, a left $A$-module $M$ and a right $A$-module $N$ let $Tor_A(M,N)$ denote the homology of the derived tensor product $M ...

Show that the rational cohomology ring $H^*(M;\mathbb{Q})$ needs at least two generators

Let $M$ be a simply connected closed Riemannian manifold. How does one find a necessary condition going both ways that may be imposed on $M$ (perhaps on the curvature of $M$ and on torsion) which ...

A cdga for compactly supported cohomology (à la Sullivan's algebra of polynomial forms)

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, and let $\Omega^\bullet(M)$ be the commutative dg-algebra of differential forms on $M$. It is quasi-isomorphic to the dg-algebra of singular cochains on $M$. If $M$ is no ...
