Let X be a simply connected CW-complex of finite type and K an arbitrary field. In this paper, we use the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence of C * ( (X ), K) to introduce a new homotopical invariant r(X, K). If X is a Gorenstein space with nonzero evaluation map, then r(X, K) turns out to interpolate depth(H * ( (X ), K)) and e K (X ). We also define for any minimal Sullivan algebra ( V, d) a new spectral sequence and make use of it to associate to any 1-connected commutative differential graded algebraMathematics Subject Classification 55P62 · 55M30 · 55T20
