Coproducts in brane topology

Algebraic Topology 2019-10-30 v1

Abstract

We extend the loop product and the loop coproduct to the mapping space from the kk-dimensional sphere, or more generally from any kk-manifold, to a kk-connected space with finite dimensional rational homotopy group, k1k\geq 1. The key to extending the loop coproduct is the fact that the embedding MMSk1M\rightarrow M^{S^{k-1}} is of "finite codimension" in a sense of Gorenstein spaces. Moreover, we prove the associativity, commutativity, and Frobenius compatibility of them.
