\section{Equivalence on rational spaces}
For the equivalence of rational spaces and cdga's we need that the unit and counit of the adjunction in \CorollaryRef{minimal-model-adjunction} are in fact weak equivalences for rational spaces. More formally: for any (automatically cofibrant) $X \in\sSet$ and any minimal model $A \in\CDGA$, both rational, $1$-connected and of finite type \todo{undefined!}, the following two natural maps are weak equivalences:
In this section we will prove that the adjunction in \CorollaryRef{minimal-model-adjucntion} is in fact an equivalence when restricted to certain subcategories. One of the restriction is the following.

A cdga $A$ is said to be of \Def{finite type} if $H(A)$ is finite dimensional in each degree. Similarly $X$ is of \Def{finite type} if $H^i(X; \Q)$ is finite dimensional for each $i$.

Note that $X$ is of finite type if and only if $A(X)$ is of finite type.

\Proof{
Let $V$ generate $A$. Take $V(n)=\bigoplus_{k=0}^n V^k$ (note that $V^0= V^1=0$). Since $d$ is decomposable we see that for $v \in V^n$: $d(v)= x \cdot y$ for some $x, y \in A$. Assuming $dv$ to be non-zero we can compute the degrees:
Let $V$ be filtered by degree: $V(k)= V^{\leq k}$. Now $d(v)\in\Lambda V^{< k}$ for any $v \in V^k$. For degree reasons $d(v)$ is a product, so $d$ is decomposable.
For the converse take $V(n)=\bigoplus_{k=0}^n V^k$ (note that $V^0= V^1=0$). Since $d$ is decomposable we see that for $v \in V^n$: $d(v)= x \cdot y$ for some $x, y \in A$. Assuming $dv$ to be non-zero we can compute the degrees:
$$\deg{x}+\deg{y}=\deg{xy}=\deg{dv}=\deg{v}+1= n +1. $$
As $A$ is $1$-reduced we have $\deg{x}, \deg{y}\geq2$ and so by the above $\deg{x}, \deg{y}\leq n-1$. Conclude that $d(V(k))\subset\Lambda(V(n-1))$.

\section{Existence}
\begin{theorem}
Let $(A, d)$ be a $0$-connected cdga, then it has a Sullivan model $(\Lambda V, d)$. Furthermore if $(A, d)$ is $r$-connected with $r \geq1$ then $V^i =0$ for all $i \leq r$ and in particular$(\Lambda V, d)$ is minimal.
Let $(A, d)$ be a $1$-connected cdga, then it has a minimal model$(\Lambda V, d)$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Start by setting $V(0)= H^{\geq1}(A)$ and $d =0$. This extends to a morphism $m_0 : (\Lambda V(0), 0)\to(A, d)$.
Note that the freeness introduces products such that the map $H(m_0) : H(\Lambda V(0))\to H(A)$ is \emph{not} an isomorphism. We will ``kill'' these defects inductively.
We construct the model and by induction on the degree. The resulting filtration will be on degree, so that the minimality follows from \LemmaRef{1-reduced-minimal-model}. We start with $V^0= V^1=0$ and $V^2= H^2(A)$ and $d(V^2)=0$, this extends to a map of cdga's $m_2 : \Lambda V^{\leq2}\to A$.
Suppose $m_k : \Lambda V^{\leq k}\to A$ is constructed. We will add elements in degree $k+1$ and extend $m_k$ to $m_{k+1}$ to assert surjectivity and injectivity of $H(m_{k+1})$. Let $\{[a_\alpha]\}_{\alpha\in I}$ be a basis for the cokernel of $H(m_k) : H^{k+1}(\Lambda V^{\leq k})\to H^{k+1}(A)$ and $b_\alpha\in A^{k+1}$ be a representing cycle for $a_\alpha$. Let $\{[z_\beta]\}_{\beta\in J}$ be a basis for the kernel of $H(m_k) : H^{k+2}(\Lambda V^{\leq k})\to H^{k+2}(A)$, note that $m_k(b_\beta)$ is a boundary, so that there are elements $c_\beta$ such that $m_k(b_\beta)= d c_\beta$.
Define $V^{k+1}=\bigoplus_{\alpha\in I}\k\cdot v_\alpha\oplus\bigoplus_{\beta\in J}\k\cdot v'_\beta$ and extend $d$ and $m_{k+1}$ by defining
Now clearly $d^2=0$ on the generators, so this extends to a derivation on $\Lambda V^{k+1}$, similarly $m_{k+1}$ commutes with $d$ on the generators and hence extends to a chain map.
Suppose $V(k)$ and $m_k$ have been constructed. Consider the defect $\ker H(m_k)$ and let $\{[z_\alpha]\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a basis for it. Define $V_{k+1}=\bigoplus_{\alpha\in A}\k\cdot v_\alpha$ with the degrees $\deg{v_\alpha}=\deg{z_\alpha}-1$.
Now extend the differential by defining $d(v_\alpha)= z_\alpha$. This step kills the defect, but also introduces new defects which will be killed later. Notice that $z_\alpha$ is a cocycle and hence $d^2 v_\alpha=0$, so $d$ is still a differential.
Since $[z_\alpha]$ is in the kernel of $H(m_k)$ we see that $m_k z_\alpha= d a_\alpha$ for some $a_\alpha$. Extend $m_k$ to $m_{k+1}$ by defining $m_{k+1}(v_\alpha)= a_\alpha$. Notice that $m_{k+1} d v_\alpha= m_{k+1} z_\alpha= d a_\alpha= d m_{k+1} v_\alpha$, so $m_{k+1}$ is a cochain map.
Now take $V(k+1)= V(k)\oplus V_{k+1}$.
This finished the construction of $V$ and $m : \Lambda V \to A$. Now we will prove that $H(m)$ is an isomorphism. We will do so by proving surjectivity and injectivity by induction on $k$.
Complete the construction by taking the union: $V =\bigcup_k V(k)$. Clearly $H(m)$ is surjective, this was established in the first step. Now if $H(m)[z]=0$, then we know $z \in\Lambda V(k)$ for some stage $k$ and hence by construction is was killed, i.e. $[z]=0$. So we see that $m$ is a quasi isomorphism and by construction $(\Lambda V, d)$ is a Sullivan algebra.
Start by noting that $H^i(m_2)$ is jurjective for $i \leq2$. now assume $H^i(m_k)$ is surjective for $i \leq k$. Since $\im H(m_k)\subset\im H(m_{k+1})$ we see that $H^i(m_{k+1})$ is surjective for $i < k+1$. By construction it is also surjective in degree $k+1$. So $H^i(m_k)$ is surjective for all $i \leq k$ for all $k$.
\todo{Rewrite this section} Now assume that $(A, d)$ is $r$-connected ($r \geq1$), this means that $H^i(A)=0$ for all $1\leq i \leq r$, and so $V(0)^i =0$ for all $i \leq r$. Now $H(m_0)$ is injective on $\Lambda^{\leq1} V(0)$, and so the defects are in $\Lambda^{\geq2} V(0)$ and have at least degree $2(r+1)$. This means two things in the first inductive step of the construction. First, the newly added elements have decomposable differential. Secondly, these elements are at least of degree $2(r+1)-1$. After adding these elements, the new defects are in $\Lambda^{\geq2} V(1)$ and have at least degree $2(2(r+1)-1)$. We see that as the construction continues, the degrees of adjoined elements go up. Hence $V^i =0$ for all $i \leq r$ and by \LemmaRef{1-reduced-minimal-model}\todo{does not apply}$(\Lambda V, d)$ is minimal.
For injectivity we note that $H^i(m_2)$ is injective for $i \leq3$, since $\Lambda V^{\leq2}$ has no elements of degree $3$. Assume $H^i(m_k)$ is injective for $i \leq k+1$ and let $[z]\in\ker H^i(m_{k+1})$. Now if $\deg{z}\leq k$ we get $[z]=0$ by induction and if $\deg{z}= k+2$ we get $[z]=0$ by construction. Finally if $\deg{z}= k+1$, then we write $z =\sum\lambda_\alpha v_\alpha+\sum\lambda'_\beta v'_\beta+ w$ where $v_\alpha, v'_\beta$ are the generators as above and $w \in\Lambda V^{\leq k}$. Now $d z =0$ and so $\sum\lambda'_\beta v'_\beta+ dw =0$, so that $\sum\lambda'_\beta[z_\beta]=0$. Since $\{[z_\beta]\}$ was a basis, we see that $\lambda'_\beta=0$ for all $\beta$. Now by applying $m_k$ we get $\sum\lambda_\alpha[b_\alpha]= H(m_k)[w]$, so that $\sum\lambda_\alpha[a_\alpha]=0$ in the cokernel, recall that $\{[a_\alpha]\}$ formed a basis and hence $\lambda_\alpha=0$ for all $\alpha$. Now $z = w$ and the statement follows by induction. Conclude that $H^i(m_{k+1})$ is injective for $i \leq k+2$.
This concludes that $H(m)$ is indeed an isomorphism. So we constructed a weak equivalence $m: \Lambda V \to A$, where $\Lambda V$ is minimal by \LemmaRef{1-reduced-minimal-model}.
\end{proof}
\Remark{finited-dim-minimal-model}{
The above construction will construct a $r$-reduced minimal model for an $r$-connected cdga $A$.
Moreover if $H(A)$ is finite dimensional in each dimension, then so is the minimal model $\Lambda V$. This follows inductively. First notive that $V^2$ is clearly finite dimensional. Now assume that $\Lambda V^{<k}$ is finite dimension in each degree, then both the cokernel and kernel are, so we adjoin only finitely many elements in $V^k$.
