β¦ Synopsis
We prove that the category of algebras over a coΓΏbrant operad admits a closed model category structure. This leads to the notion of "virtual operad algebra" -the algebra over a coΓΏbrant resolution of the given operad. In particular, virtual commutative algebras can serve to an algebraic description of homotopy p-types as in the recent preprint of Mandell (M. Mandell, Eβ-algebras and p-adic homotopy theory, Hopf preprint server, October, 1998). Our main result allows one to simplify the proof of Mandell's theorem.

Let R be a ΓΏnite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed ΓΏeld K. One of the main aims of this paper is to prove that if the algebra R is loop-ΓΏnite or R is strongly simply connected then the following three conditions are equivalent: (a) the algebra R is of inΓΏnite representation type, (b)
