%0 Journal Article %T Rigid rational homotopy types %A Christopher Lazda %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1112/plms/pdu014 %X In this paper we define a rigid rational homotopy type, associated to any variety $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic. We prove comparison theorems with previous definitions in the smooth and proper, and log-smooth and proper case. Using these, we can show that if $k$ is a finite field, then the Frobenius structure on the higher rational homotopy groups is mixed. We also define a relative rigid rational homotopy type, and use it to define a homotopy obstruction for the existence of sections. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.6446v3
