For a finite wedge sum of spheres of dimensions ni​≥2, let L=L(ei​) with ∣ei​∣=ni​−1 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 Q⊕⨁i​Qani​​ with all positive products zero. One way to compute this is U(L)=T(ei​); the augmentation module has a length-one free resolution, so the corresponding Ext has only the unit and the dual generating classes.
