    I see that there was an entry by Tim Porter, that I had forgotten about: differential forms on simplices. I put a link to that in the context at rational homotopy theory now.

    I also edited that entry a bit: the first paragraph said that this is to be the first entry in a sequence of three, but as far as I can see Tim has since not followed up on this. So I removed his announcement (saved it at the bottom of the entry, actually). Also, I see that the entry doesn't actually say anything about polynomial forms so far...

    I am wondering about the following:

    there is a Quillen adjunction \Omega^\bullet : SPSh(Diff)^{loc} \to dgAlg^{op} that sends an oo-stack on the cat of manifolds to its deRham algebra.

    Moreover, there is a theorem that says that the left Bousfield localization SPSh(Diff)_{I}^{loc} of SPSh(Diff)^{loc} at all the cylinder projections X \times \mathbb{R} \to X is Quillen equivalent to SSet .

    Let Q : SPSh(Diff)_I^{loc} \to SPSh(Diff)_I^{loc} be cofibrant replacement in this localized structure. Then we get the composite functor SSet \stackrel{\simeq}{\to} SPSh(Diff)_I^{loc} \stackrel{Q}{\to} SPSh(Diff)_I^{loc} \stackrel{Id}{\to} SPSh(Diff)^{loc} \stackrel{\Omega^\bullet}{\to} dgAlg^{op} .

    Looking at what this does on objects, it seems it should be related to the Sullivan-forms functor SSet \to dgAlg^{op} . Has anyone thought about this or seen other people think about it?

    I am a little confused about "diff forms on top spaces". The equivalence of cat of simplicial sets and of topological spaces is just as infty topoi, isn't it ? I mean the construction in Sullivan's word is eventually a construction in PL-world and for a topologists the world of say topological manifolds and the world of PL-manifolds is nontrivially different (and some people done a lot on documenting this difference) and this is not repaired by the infty machinery. What do you think ?

    Another thing which could be of interest to discuss here is the business of D-modules. Namely the semialgebraic triangulations of semialgebraic sets play role in the theory of constructible sheaves and dualities in the theory of D-modules involving them. Regarding that this is also a non-smooth setup for generalizations of connections, there might be some common points in the theory. But here positive characteristics works also fine.

    I expanded the section on Sullivan models.

    Probably eventually this should be split off into a separate entry.

    Phew. I got it back out of my browser’s cache. Luckily, that remembers all the content of the edit panes in the nLab edit pages.

    Anyway, the new content that I put in is now at Sullivan model.

    That’s Mike Schlessinger. (By typing [Deformations of Rational Homotopy Types](http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.1647), you get a clickable link: Deformations of Rational Homotopy Types, provided that you choose a format which supports Markdown. I usually use Markdown+Itex.)

    I have edited a little bit at rational homotopy theory (that whole entry needs a serious polishing and completion at some point):

    • gave the rationalization adjunction in the Sullivan approach its own subsection, such as to make it easier to spot this key statement in the entry;

    • expanded just a little there, but this deserves to be expanded further;

    • started an Examples-section with the example of rational spheres.

    And I have merged the section previously titled “Lie-theoretic models” into the Idea-section, for it just surveys the models that are then described in the following sections. Re-edited a little in the process.

    Ah, I see that the example of rational nn-spheres was also requested at Sullivan model and at rational topological space. Therefore I now gave it its own dedicated entry and linked to from there:

    I would like to bring the entry rational homotopy theory into better shape. Today I have been expanding and streamlining the section on the Sullivan approach.
