as well as by the list of open problems in the final section of this monograph. The computational power of rational homotopy theory is due to the discovery by Quillen [135] and by Sullivan [144] of an explicit algebraic formulation. In each case the rational homotopy type of a topological space is the same as the isomorphism class of its algebraic model and the rational homotopy type of a continuous map is the same as the algebraic homotopy class of the correspond ing morphism between models. These models make the rational homology and homotopy of a space transparent. They also (in principle, always, and in prac tice, sometimes) enable the calculation of other homotopy invariants such as the cup product in cohomology, the Whitehead product in homotopy and rational Lusternik-Schnirelmann category. In its initial phase research in rational homotopy theory focused on the identi of these models. These included fication of rational homotopy invariants in terms the homotopy Lie algebra (the translation of the Whitehead product to the homo topy groups of the loop space OX under the isomorphism 11'+1 (X) ~ 1I.(OX, LS category and cone length. Since then, however, work has concentrated on the properties of these in variants, and has uncovered some truly remarkable, and previously unsuspected phenomena. For example If X is an n-dimensional simply connected finite CW complex, then either its rational homotopy groups vanish in degrees 2': 2n, or else they grow exponentially.

From the reviews: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "In 535 pages, the authors give a complete and thorough development of rational homotopy theory as well as a review (of virtually) all relevant notions of from basic homotopy theory and homological algebra. This is a truly remarkable achievement, for the subject comes in many guises." Y. Felix, S. Halperin, and J.-C. Thomas Rational Homotopy Theory "A complete and thorough development of rational homotopy theory as well as a review of (virtually) all relevant notions from basic homotopy theory and homological algebra. This is truly a magnificent achievement . . . a true appreciation for the goals and techniques of rational homotopy theory, as well as an effective toolkit for explicit computation of examples throughout algebraic topology."
