Abstract

We study differential graded algebras (DGAs) whose homology is an exterior algebra over a commutative ring R on a generator of degree n, and also certain types of differential modules over these DGAs. We obtain a complete classification with R = Z or R = F_p and n ≥ –1. The examples are unexpectedly interesting.
