Vanilla 1.1.10 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support.
added this statement:
Let
be a Serre fibration of connected topological spaces, with fiber (over any base point) also connected.
If in addition
(e.g. if is simply connected);
at least one of , have rational finite type
then the cofiber of any relative Sullivan model for is a Sullivan model for .
Did you mean acts nilpotently?
Yes, I had fixed it in the entry, didn’t fix it here.
added the addendum:
Moreover, if is a minimal Sullivan model for , then the cofiber of the corresponding minimal relative Sullivan model for is the minimal Sullivan model for :

added the following further addendum to the proposition:
But this cofiber, being the cofiber of a relative Sullivan model and hence of a cofibration in the projective model structure on dgc-algebras, is in fact the homotopy cofiber, and hence is a model for the homotopy fiber of the rationalized fibration.
Therefore (eq:SullivanModelForFiber) implies that on fibrations of connected finite-type spaces where of the base acts nilpotently on the homology of the fiber, rationalization preserves homotopy fibers.
(This was originally proven in Bousfield-Kan 72, Chapter II.)
added pointer also to the followup book
where the above statement appears as Theorem 5.1
