Title: Rational homotopy theory and a deformation-like moduli problem

Abstract:

We will introduce rational homotopy theory through the CDGA approach and discuss formal and non-formal spaces. We will then move on to a moduli problem related to the homotopy type of complements of polyhedra in closed manifolds.
