String topology for spheres

Abstract: Abstract. Let M be a compact oriented d-dimensional smooth manifold. Chas and Sullivan have defined a structure of BatalinVilkovisky algebra on H * (LM ). Extending work of Cohen, Jones and Yan, we compute this Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure when M is a sphere S d , d ≥ 1. In particular, we show that H * (LS 2 ; F 2 ) and the Hochschild cohomology HH * (H * (S 2 ); H * (S 2 )) are surprisingly not isomorphic as Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras, although as expected the underlying Gerstenhaber algebras are iso… Show more

“…In characteristic non-zero, this does not hold in general, when using the homological Poincaré duality pairing, cf. Menichi [15] and Yang [24]. It is our hope, that the notion of ∞-inner products provides a suitable notion of chain level Poincaré duality to induce a model of the BV-algebra on the free loop space in the general setting.…”

“…, a n+1 , which are plugged into the Hochschild cochain. One calculates, that where, in the first two terms, we used the fact described in example 15 (15), that the strict unit can only multiply with one term, where it yields the identity. Similarly, we get the other terms as By definition 16 of the differential, we have that δ(ρ H ) = ρ δ(H) .…”

“…On the other hand, combining the results from [52] and [5] one deduces that SH * (T * S 2 ) ∼ = HH * (C 2− * (ΩS 2 )) ∼ = HH * (C * (S 2 )) does not admit a dilation over a field of characteristic 2 4 . Recall that a dilation is an element b ∈ SH 1 (X Γ ) such that ∆b = 1 where ∆ : SH * (X Γ ) → SH * −1 (X Γ ) is the BV-operator in symplectic cohomology.…”
