My thesis

Rational Homotopy Theory

========================

At the time of writing this repo consists of some notes only.

Master thesis on Rational Homotopy Theory, the study of homotopy without

Will be about rational homotopy theory or something.
|
torsion. The thesis mainly focuses on the Sullivan equivalence, which models
|
||||||
|
rational spaces by commutative differential graded algebras (contrary to
|
||||||
|
Quillen's dual approach which considers coalgebras). These objects are nice
|
||||||
|
since they are very similar to polynomial rings and hence allow for easy
|
||||||
|
calculations. The construction which allows us to go back and forth between
|
||||||
|
spaces and algebras resembles ideas from differential geometry (namely De Rham's
|
||||||
|
cochain complex), but can be applied to any topological space. Applications
|
||||||
|
include the calculation of all rational homotopy groups of all spheres (in
|
||||||
|
contrast to the integral case where many groups remain unknown as of today) and
|
||||||
|
a result towards Adams' theorem (stating that only the spheres S0, S1, S3 and S7
|
||||||
|
are H-spaces).
