Singular chains on Lie groups and the Cartan relations II

Let $G$ be a simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and denote by $\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G)$ the DG Hopf algebra of smooth singular chains on $G$. In a companion paper it was shown that the category of sufficiently smooth modules over $\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G)$ is equivalent to the category of representations of $\mathbb{T} \mathfrak{g}$, the DG Lie algebra which is universal for the Cartan relations. In this paper we show that, if $G$ is compact, this equivalence of categories can be extended to an $\mathsf{A}_{\infty}$-quasi-equivalence of the corresponding DG categories. As an intermediate step we construct an $\mathsf{A}_{\infty}$-quasi-isomorphism between the Bott-Shulman-Stasheff DG algebra associated to $G$ and the DG algebra of Hochschild cochains on $\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G)$. The main ingredients in the proof are the Van Est map and Gugenheim's $\mathsf{A}_{\infty}$ version of De Rham's theorem.
