Kan and Miller have shown in [9] that the homotopy type of a finite simplicial set K can be recovered from its R-algebra of 0-forms A0K, when R is a unique factorization domain. More precisely, if is the category of simplicial sets and is the category of R-algebras there is a contravariant functor

with

the simplicial set homomorphisms from X to the simplicial R-algebra ∇, where

and the faces and degeneracies of ∇ are induced by

and

respectively.
