Abstract
To each simply connected topological space is associated a graded Lie algebra; the rational homotopy Lie algebra. The Avramov-Felix conjecture says that for a space of finite Ljusternik-Schnirelmann category this Lie algebra contains a free Lie subalgebra on two generators. We prove the conjecture in the case when the Lie algebra has depth one.
