\[ {H}_{ * }\left( {{\Delta }^{n},\partial {\Delta }^{n};\mathbb{k}}\right) = \mathbb{k} \cdot \left\lbrack {\Delta }^{n}\right\rbrack \] proof: We may suppose \( n > 0 \) .

Theorem 4.15 If \( \varphi : X \rightarrow Y \) is a weak homotopy equivalence then \( {C}_{ * }\left( \varphi \right) \) : \( {C}_{ * }\left( {X;\mathbb{R}}\right) \rightarrow {C}_{ * }\left( {Y;\mathbb{R}}\right) \) is a quasi-isomorphism.
proof: Recall the face maps \( {\lambda }_{i} = \left\langle {{e}_{0}\ldots {\widehat{e}}_{i}\ldots {e}_{n}}\right\rangle : {\Delta }^{n - 1} \rightarrow {\Delta }^{n} \) . We first observe that for each \( n \geq 0 \) and each \( \sigma : {\bigtriangleup }^{n} \rightarrow Y \) we can associate \( {\sigma }^{\prime } :...

Theorem 4.18 (Cellular chain models) Every relative CW complex \( \left( {X, A}\right) \) has a cellular chain model \( m : \left( {{C}_{ * },\partial }\right) \rightarrow {C}_{ * }\left( {X, A;\mathbb{k}}\right) \), and \( m \) and each \( m\left( n\right) \) are always quasi-isomorphisms.
proof: We construct the morphisms \( m\left( n\right) \) inductively and observe in passing that they are quasi-isomorphisms.\n\nSuppose by induction that \( m\left( n\right) \) is constructed; we extend it to \( m\left( {n + 1}\right) \) as follows.

Lemma 6.2 If \( \left( {R, d}\right) \rightarrow \left( {S, d}\right) \) is a morphism of dga’s, and if \( \left( {M, d}\right) \) is a semifree \( \left( {R, d}\right) \) -module then \( \left( {S{ \otimes }_{R}M, d}\right) \) is \( \left( {S, d}\right) \) -semifree.
proof: Let \( \{ M\left( k\right) \} \) be a semifree filtration for \( \left( {M, d}\right) \) . From the formula in Remark 6.1 we deduce\n\n\[ S{ \otimes }_{R}M\left( k\right) = S{ \otimes }_{R}M\left( {k - 1}\right) \oplus \left( {S \otimes Z\left( k\right) }\right), d : Z\left( k\right) \rightarrow S{ \otimes }_{R}...

Proposition 6.7 Suppose \( \left( {M, d}\right) \) and \( \left( {{M}^{\prime }, d}\right) \) are \( \left( {R, d}\right) \) -semifree.\n\n(i) If \( f \) and \( g \) are quasi-isomorphisms then so is \( {\operatorname{Hom}}_{R}\left( {f, g}\right) \) .
proof: (i) Since \( \left( {M, d}\right) \) and \( \left( {{M}^{\prime }, d}\right) \) are semifree, Proposition 6.4 (iii) asserts that \( f \) is an equivalence. Thus there is an inverse equivalence \( {f}^{\prime } : \left( {{M}^{\prime }, d}\right) \rightarrow \) \( \left( {M, d}\right) \) and \( R \) -linear maps \...

proof: As observed in Lemma 6.2, \( \left( {S{ \otimes }_{R}M, d}\right) \) is \( \left( {S, d}\right) \) -semifree. Moreover, since \( \left( {M, d}\right) \) is \( \left( {R, d}\right) \) -semifree\n\n\[ \varphi { \otimes }_{R}{id} : \left( {R{ \otimes }_{R}M, d}\right) \rightarrow \left( {S{ \otimes }_{R}M, d}\right...

Theorem 8.5 With the notation above, assume \( G \) is path connected and \( {C}_{ * }\left( \alpha \right) \) is a quasi-isomorphism. Then\n\n\[ \n{C}_{ * }\left( \varphi \right) \;\text{ is a quasi-isomorphism }\; \Leftrightarrow \;{C}_{ * }\left( \psi \right) \;\text{ is a quasi-isomorphism. }\n\]
proof: The proof of Proposition 6.6 shows that \( {C}_{ * }\left( P\right) \) and \( {C}_{ * }\left( {P}^{\prime }\right) \) admit \( {C}_{ * }\left( G\right) \) and \( {C}_{ * }\left( {G}^{\prime }\right) \) semifree resolutions\n\n\[ \nm : \left( {M, d}\right) \overset{ \simeq }{ \rightarrow }{C}_{ * }\left( P\right)...

Lemma 8.7 Suppose \( \mathbf{k} \subset \mathbb{Q}, X \) is an \( \left( {r - 1}\right) \) -connected space and either \( r \geq 2 \) or \( r = 1 \) and \( {\pi }_{1}\left( X\right) \) is abelian. Then the Hurewicz homomorphism defines an isomorphism\n\n\[ \n{\pi }_{r}\left( X\right) { \otimes }_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{k} ...
proof: By Theorem 4.19 the Hurewicz homomorphism is an isomorphism \( {\pi }_{r}\left( X\right) \) \( \overset{ \cong }{ \rightarrow }{H}_{r}\left( {X;\mathbb{Z}}\right) \) .

Lemma 9.4 If \( X \) is an Eilenberg-MacLane space of type \( \left( {\pi, n}\right), n \geq 1 \), then\n\n\[ \pi \text{ is }\mathcal{P}\text{-local }\; \Rightarrow \;{H}_{ * }\left( {X;{\mathbb{F}}_{p}}\right) = {H}_{ * }\left( {{pt};{\mathbb{F}}_{p}}\right), p \notin \mathcal{P}. \]
proof: Suppose first that \( n = 1 \) . Reduce to the case \( \pi \) is finitely generated exactly as in Case 3 in the proof of Theorem 8.6. Since \( \mathbb{R} \) is a principal ideal domain, finitely generated \( \mathbb{k} \) -modules are the finite direct sums of cyclic \( \mathbb{k} \) - modules. Hence in this cas...

Theorem 9.6 A continuous map \( \varphi : X \rightarrow Y \) between simply connected spaces is a \( \mathcal{P} \) -localization if and only if \( Y \) is \( \mathcal{P} \) -local and \( {H}_{ * }\left( {\varphi ;\mathbb{k}}\right) \) is an isomorphism.
proof: Since \( Y \) is \( \mathcal{P} \) -local, \( {\pi }_{ * }\left( Y\right) = {\pi }_{ * }\left( Y\right) { \otimes }_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{k} \) and the homomorphism \( {\pi }_{ * }\left( X\right) { \otimes }_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{k} \rightarrow {\pi }_{ * }\left( Y\right) \) is just \( {\pi }_{ * }\left( \varphi \ri...

Simply connected spaces \( X \) and \( Y \) have the same rational homotopy type if and only if there is a chain of rational homotopy equivalences\n\n\[ X \leftarrow Z\left( 0\right) \rightarrow \cdots \leftarrow Z\left( k\right) \rightarrow Y. \]
The first assertion is immediate from Theorem 9.7. The second follows immediately from the Whitehead lifting lemma 1.5, because \( \left( {{X}_{\mathbb{Q}}, X}\right) \) and \( \left( {{Y}_{\mathbb{Q}}, Y}\right) \) are relative CW complexes.

Lemma 10.3 If \( K \) is any simplicial set then any \( \sigma \in {K}_{n} \) determines a unique simplicial set map \( {\sigma }_{ * } : \Delta \left\lbrack n\right\rbrack \rightarrow K \) such that \( {\sigma }_{ * }\left( {c}_{n}\right) = \sigma \) .

proof: (i) The definitions show that \( \Phi \mapsto {\Phi }_{{c}_{n}} \) is a morphism of cochain algebras. Since \( {A}^{p}\left( {\Delta \left\lbrack n\right\rbrack }\right) \) consists of the simplicial set maps \( \Delta \left\lbrack n\right\rbrack \rightarrow {A}^{p} \), Lemma 10.3 asserts that this morphism is a...

Lemma 10.6 If \( K \) is a simplicial set and \( A \) is an extendable simplicial cochain complex then \( \alpha \) is an isomorphism, natural in \( A \) and in \( K \) .
proof: If \( \alpha \left( \Phi \right) = 0 \) then \( \Phi \) vanishes on all the non-degenerate simplices of \( K\left( n\right) \) and hence \( \Phi = 0 \) . Conversely, given a family \( {\left\{ {\Psi }_{\sigma } \in A\left( \Delta \left\lbrack n\right\rbrack ,\Delta \left\lbrack n - 1\right\rbrack \right) \right\...

When \( X = \{ {pt}\} \), then \( {S}_{ * }\left( X\right) = \Delta \left\lbrack 0\right\rbrack \) . It follows that \( {A}_{PL}\left( X\right) = \) \( {\left( {A}_{PL}\right) }_{0} = \mathbb{R} \)
\[ {A}_{PL}\left( {pt}\right) = \mathbb{k}. \]\n\nThus an inclusion \( j : {pt} \rightarrow Y \) induces an augmentation \( \varepsilon = {A}_{PL}\left( j\right) : {A}_{PL}\left( Y\right) \rightarrow \) 1k.

(i) \( \oint = \left\{ {\oint }_{n}\right\} : {A}_{PL} \rightarrow {C}_{PL} \) is a quasi-isomorphism of simplicial cochain complexes.
proof: A quasi-isomorphism of extendable simplicial cochain complexes induces a quasi-isomorphism of cochain complexes when applied to any simplicial set (Proposition 10.5). Since \( {C}^{ * }\left( -\right) = {C}_{PL}\left( -\right) \) and since \( {A}_{PL} \) and \( {C}_{PL} \) are extendable (Lemmas 10.11, 10.7 and ...

Theorem 11.4 The morphisms \( {\alpha }_{M},{\beta }_{M} \) and \( {\gamma }_{M} \) are all quasi-isomorphisms. In particular, \( {A}_{DR}\left( M\right) \) is weakly equivalent to \( {A}_{PL}\left( {M;\mathbb{R}}\right) \) .
proof of Theorem 11.4: (i) \( {\beta }_{M} \) is a quasi-isomorphism. Lemmas 10 and 11.4 assert that \( {A}_{PL}\left( {-;\mathbb{R}}\right) \rightarrow {A}_{DR} \) is a quasi-isomorphism of extendable simplicial cochain algebras.

In fact, \( {A}_{PL}\left( {p}^{X}\right) \cdot {A}_{PL}\left( {p}^{Y}\right) \) is clearly a morphism of graded vector spaces commuting with the differentials.

Proposition 15.17 If a compact connected Lie group acts smoothly and freely on a manifold \( X \) then the Sullivan algebra \( \left( {\Lambda {V}_{{B}_{G}} \otimes \Lambda {V}_{X}, D}\right) \) is a Sullivan model for the orbit space \( X/G \) . In particular, \( {H}^{i}\left( {\Lambda {V}_{{B}_{G}} \otimes \Lambda {V...
proof: In this case the projection \( X \rightarrow X/G \) is the projection of a principal \( G \) bundle [REF] and Proposition 2.9 provides a weak homotopy equivalence \( {q}^{\prime } : {X}_{G} \rightarrow X/G \) . This implies the first assertion. Since \( X/G \) is a manifold and \( \dim X/G = \dim X - \dim G \), ...

Example 4 A fibre bundle with fibre \( {S}^{3} \times {SU}\left( 3\right) \) that is not principal.

Consider the manifold \( X \) of Example 4. We observed there that a certain bundle \( q : X \rightarrow {S}^{3} \) with fibre \( {S}^{3} \times {SU}\left( 3\right) \) was not principal. Now we establish a stronger assertion: \( X \) does not admit any free smooth \( {S}^{3} \times {SU}\left( 3\right) \) action.
In fact we show more: \( X \) has no free smooth \( {S}^{3} \times {S}^{3} \) action. Indeed let \( G = {S}^{3} \times {S}^{3} \) . For any \( G \) action the Borel construction has a Sullivan model of the form\n\n\[ \left( {\Lambda \left( {{a}_{1},{a}_{2}}\right) \otimes \Lambda \left( {u, v,{x}_{2},{x}_{3}}\right), D...

proof: Recall that \( {\bar{a}}_{j} \sim \left( {\Omega {a}_{j}}\right) \overline{id} \), where \( \overline{id} : {S}^{2{k}_{j}} \rightarrow \Omega {S}^{2{k}_{j} + 1} \) represents \( {\partial }_{ * }\left\lbrack {i{d}_{{S}^{2{k}_{j} + 1}}}\right\rbrack \) .

Lemma 17.1 [122] The quotient map \( {q}_{K} : \mathop{\coprod }\limits_{n}{K}_{n} \times {\Delta }^{n} \rightarrow \left| K\right| \) restricts to a bijection\n\n\[{\widetilde{q}}_{K} : \mathop{\coprod }\limits_{n}N{K}_{n} \times {\overset{ \circ }{\Delta }}^{n} \rightarrow \left| K\right| .

The Milnor realization \( \left| K\right| \) of a simplicial set \( K \) is a \( {CW} \) complex with \( n \) -skeleton \( \left| {K\left( n\right) }\right| \) and \( n \) -cells the non-degenerate \( n \) -simplices \( \sigma \in N{K}_{n} \) .

The ’simplicial point’ is the unique simplicial set with a single \( k \) -simplex \( {c}_{n} \) in each dimension. Now suppose \( K \) is any simplicial set.

It follows now from Lemma 17.1 that \( \left| {CK}\right| \cong \left| K\right| \times I/\left| K\right| \times \{ 1\} \) . In particular, - for any simplicial set \( K \) the realization \( \left| {CK}\right| \) of the cone on \( K \) is a contractible \( {CW} \) complex.

If \( K \) is an extendable simplicial set then \( \left| K\right| \) is contractible.
Indeed, extendable simplicial sets \( K \) have the property that if \( E \) is sub simplicial set of a simplicial set \( L \) then any morphism \( \varphi : E \rightarrow K \) extends to a morphism \( L \rightarrow K \) . (This was proved in Proposition 10.4(ii) for simplicial cochain complexes, but the argument appli...
