Abstract

Let GG be a simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} and denote by C(G)\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G) the DG Hopf algebra of smooth singular chains on GG. In a companion paper it was shown that the category of sufficiently smooth modules over C(G)\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G) is equivalent to the category of representations of Tg\mathbb{T} \mathfrak{g}, the DG Lie algebra which is universal for the Cartan relations. In this paper we show that, if GG is compact, this equivalence of categories can be extended to an A\mathsf{A}_{\infty}-quasi-equivalence of the corresponding DG categories. As an intermediate step we construct an A\mathsf{A}_{\infty}-quasi-isomorphism between the Bott-Shulman-Stasheff DG algebra associated to GG and the DG algebra of Hochschild cochains on C(G)\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G). The main ingredients in the proof are the Van Est map and Gugenheim's A\mathsf{A}_{\infty} version of De Rham's theorem.
