Rational string topology
Journal of the European Mathematical Society, Tome 9 (2007) no. 1, pp. 123-156
We use the computational power of rational homotopy theory to provide an explicit cochain model for the loop product and the string bracket of a 1-connected closed manifold M. We prove that the loop homology of M is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology of the cochain algebra C∗(M) with coefficients in itself. Some explicit computations of the loop product and the string bracket are given.
