Free loop space and homology
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to explain the relationship between the (co)homology of the free loop space and the Hochschild homology of its singular cochain algebra. We introduce all the relevant technical tools, namely simplicial and cyclic objects, and we provide the various steps of the proofs, which are scattered around in the literature. This paper can be seen as a companion to the paper “Cyclic homology and equivariant homology” by J.D.S. Jones dealing with the cyclic case.

On product structures in Floer homology of cotangent bundles
In an earlier paper we have shown that the pair-of-pants product on the Floer homology of the cotangent bundle of an oriented compact manifold Q corresponds to the Chas-Sullivan loop product on the singular homology of the free loop space of Q. We now give chain level constructions of further product structures in Floer homology, corresponding to the cup product on the homology of any path spac...
متن کاملA General Chain Model of the Free Loop Space and String Topology
A chain complex model for the free loop space of a connected compact oriented manifold is presented. Some algebraic operations on such a chain complex are studied, and on its homology, the Gerstenhaber and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structures are proven. The gravity algebra on the equivariant homology of the free loop space is also constructed. This gives an algebraic and chain level model of ...
متن کاملThe Integral Homology of the Based Loop Space on a Flag Manifold
The homology of a special family of homogeneous spaces, flag manifolds and their based loop spaces is studied. First, the rational homology ring of the based loop space on a complete flag manifold is calculated. Second, it is shown that the integral homology of the based loop space on a flag manifold is torsion free. This results in a description of the integral homology ring.
متن کاملTorsion in Loop Space Homology of Rationally Contractible Spaces
Let R be a torsion free principal ideal domain. We study the growth of torsion in loop space homology of simply-connected DGR-coalgebras C, whose homology admits an exponent r in R. Here by loop space homology we mean the homology of the loop algebra construction on C. We compute a bound on the growth of torsion in such objects and show that in general this bound is best possible. Our methods a...

An interactive application, Modelface, was presented for Modeller software based on windows platform. The application is able to run all steps of homology modeling including pdb to fasta generation, running clustal, model building and loop refinement. Other modules of modeler including energy calculation, energy minimization and the ability to make single point mutations in the PDB structures a...
متن کاملTopological Hochschild Homology of Thom Spectra and the Free Loop Space
We describe the topological Hochschild homology of ring spectra that arise as Thom spectra for loop maps f : X → BF , where BF denotes the classifying space for stable spherical fibrations. To do this, we consider symmetric monoidal models of the category of spaces over BF and corresponding strong symmetric monoidal Thom spectrum functors. Our main result identifies the topological Hochschild h...
