Abstract

In [HS] and [F1] Halperin, Stasheff, and Félix showed how an inductively-defined sequence of elements in the cohomology of a graded commutative algebra over the rationals can be used to distinguish among the homotopy types of all possible realizations, thus providing a collection of algebraic invariants for distinguishing among rational homotopy types of spaces. There is also a dual version, in the setting of graded Lie algebras (see [O]).
