Again since we know the cohomology of the sphere, we can construct its minimal model. Define $M_{S^n} = \Lambda(e, f)$ with $d(e) = 0, d(f) = e^2$ and $\deg{e} = n, \deg{f} = 2n-1$. Let $x \in H^n(S^n; \Q)$ be a generator and notice that $x^2 = 0$. This means that for a representative $x' \in A(S^n)$ of $x$ there exists an element $y \in A(S^n)$ such that $dy = x'^2$. Mapping $e$ and $f$ to $x'$ and $y$ respectively defines a quasi isomorphism $M_{S^n} \to A(S^n)$. Again since we know the cohomology of the sphere, we can construct its minimal model.

In this section we aim to prove that the homotopy theory of rational spaces is the same as the homotopy theory of cdga's over $\Q$. Before we prove the equivalence, we will show that $A$ and $K$ form a Quillen pair. This already provides an adjunction between the homotopy categories. Besides the equivalence of the homotopy categories we will also investigate homotopy groups on a cdga directly. The homotopy groups of a space will be dual to the homotopy groups of the associated cdga.
