Minimal model of a wedge of simply connected spheres

ID: minimal-model-of-a-wedge-of-simply-connected-spheres

For a finite wedge sum of spheres of dimensions , let with and zero differential. Its Chevalley–Eilenberg cochains of a graded Lie algebra are a minimal commutative differential graded algebra: one generator dual to each Lie basis word has degree one more than that word, and its differential is dual to the Lie bracket. Its cohomology is with all positive products zero. One way to compute this is ; the augmentation module has a length-one free resolution, so the corresponding Ext has only the unit and the dual generating classes.
