Derived string topology and the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence
Abstract
Let be any simply-connected Gorenstein space over any field. F\'elix and Thomas have extended to simply-connected Gorenstein spaces, the loop (co)products of Chas and Sullivan on the homology of the free loop space . We describe these loop (co)products in terms of the torsion and extension functors by developing string topology in appropriate derived categories. As a consequence, we show that the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence converging to the loop homology of a Gorenstein space admits a multiplication and a comultiplication with shifted degree which are compatible with the loop product and the loop coproduct of its target, respectively. We also define a generalized cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of a commutative Gorenstein algebra and show that over , is isomorphic as algebras to . Thus, when is a Poincar\'e duality space, we recover the isomorphism of algebras of F\'elix and Thomas.
