In this note we give explicit formulas for the rational homotopy groups and cohomology algebra of the gauge group and of the space of (irreducible) connections modulo gauge transformations for any such bundle.12 pages, to appear in Compositio MathematicaAlgebraic Topology55P62; 57R19; 58B05; 81T13The rational topology of gauge groups and of spaces of connectionstext
