Abstract

Let RR be a (P.I.D) and let T(V),)T(V),\partial) be a free RR-dga. The quasi-isomorphism type of (T(V),)(T(V),\partial) is the set, denoted {(T(V),)}\{(T(V),\partial)\}, of all free dgas which are quasi-isomorphic to (T(V),)(T(V),\partial). In this paper we investigate to characterize and to compute the set {(T(V),)}\{(T(V),\partial)\} for a new class of free dgas called perfect (a special kind of a perfect dga is the Adams-Hilton model of simply connected CW-complex such that H(X,R)H_{*}(X,R) is free). We show that if (T(V),)(T(V),\partial) and (T(W),δ)(T(W),\delta) are two perfect dgas, then (T(W),δ){(T(V),)}(T(W),\delta)\in \{(T(V),\partial)\} if and only if their Whitehead exact sequences are isomorphic. Moreover we show that every dga (T(V),)(T(V),\partial) can be split to give a pair ((T(V),~),(πn)n2)\big((T(V),\widetilde{\partial}),(\pi_{n})_{n\geq 2}\big) consisting with a perfect dga (T(V),~)(T(V),\widetilde{\partial}) and a family of extensions (πn)n2(\pi_{n})_{n\geq 2} and we establish that if (T(W),δ~){(T(V),~)}(T(W),\widetilde{\delta})\in \{(T(V),\widetilde{\partial})\} and if the extensions (πn)n2(\pi_{n})_{n\geq 2} and (πn)n2(\pi'_{n})_{n\geq 2} are isomorphic (in a certain sense), then (T(W),δ){(T(V),)}(T(W),\delta)\in \{(T(V),\partial)\}.
