Subject: Re: EM-space for the reals

One possible reply is the following :

K(n,real numbers R) is the realization of the simplicial vector space which
is defined in dimension p as the set of closed differential forms of degree
n on the canonical affine space in R^{p+1}
See for instance : H. Cartan. Theories cohomologiques. Inv. Math. 35,
261-271 (1976)
