 Rational homotopy equivalence

A map between simply connected spaces is a rational homotopy equivalence when it induces isomorphisms ${\pi }_n(X)\otimes \mathbb{Q}\to {\pi }_n(Y)\otimes \mathbb{Q}$ in every degree. Equivalently it induces an equivalence of their rationalizations, or a rational homology isomorphism by the rational Whitehead theorem. Spaces have the same rational homotopy type when they are connected by a zigzag of such maps. This is distinct from rational homotopy equivalence of algebraic cycles.
