An algebraic model for homotopy fibers.
In this note we give an approach to shape covering maps which is comparable to that of *-fibrations (Mardesic and Rushing (1978)). The introduced notion conserves some important properties of usual covering maps.
We give an example of a space with the property that every orientable fibration with the fiber is rationally totally non-cohomologous to zero, while there exists a nontrivial derivation of the rational cohomology of of negative degree.
In this paper we present an approximation to the de Rham theorem for simplicial sets with any coefficients based, using simplicial techniques, on Poincaré's lemma and q-extendability.
