On Cohen-Jones isomorphism in string topology
Abstract
The loop product is an operation in string topology. Cohen and Jones gave a homotopy theoretic realization of the loop product as a classical ring spectrum for a manifold . Using this, they presented a proof of the statement that the loop product is isomorphic to the Gerstenhaber cup product on the Hochschild cohomology for simply connected . However, some parts of their proof are technically difficult to justify. The main aim of the present paper is to give detailed modification to a geometric part of their proof. To do so, we set up an "up to higher homotopy" version of McClure-Smith's cosimplicial product. We prove a structured version of Cohen-Jones isomorphism in the category of symmetric spectra.
