Abstract
We prove that for any reduced differential graded Lie algebra L, the classical Quillen geometrical realization is homotopy equivalent to the realization constructed via the cosimplicial free complete differential graded Lie algebra . As the latter is a deformation retract of the Deligne-Getzler-Hinich realization MC we deduce that, up to homotopy, there is only one realization functor for complete differential graded Lie algebras. Immediate consequences include an elementary proof of the Baues-Lemaire conjecture and the description of the Quillen realization as a representable functor.
