Free loop space and the cyclic bar construction

Algebraic Topology 2017-05-04 v2

Abstract

Using the EE_\infty-structure on singular cochains, we construct a homotopy coherent map from the cyclic bar construction of the differential graded algebra of cochains on a space to a model for the cochains on its free loop space. This fills a gap in the paper "Cyclic homology and equivariant homology" by John D.S. Jones.
