Abstract

Let XX be a simply connected closed oriented manifold of rationally elliptic homotopy type. We prove that the string topology bracket on the S1S^1-equivariant homology HS1(LX,Q)\overline{H}_{\ast}^{S^1}(\mathcal{L}X,\mathbb{Q}) of the free loop space of XX preserves the Hodge decomposition of HS1(LX,Q)\overline{H}_{\ast}^{S^1}(\mathcal{L}X,\mathbb{Q}) , making it a bigraded Lie algebra. We deduce this result from a general theorem on derived Poisson structures on the universal enveloping algebras of homologically nilpotent finite-dimensional DG Lie algebras. Our theorem settles a conjecture proposed in our earlier work.
