Abstract

We study the E2E_2-algebra ΛM,1=g0ΛMg,1\Lambda\mathfrak{M}_{*,1}=\coprod_{g\geqslant 0}\Lambda\mathfrak{M}_{g,1} consisting of free loop spaces of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with one parametrised boundary component, and compute the homotopy type of the group completion ΩBΛM,1\Omega B\Lambda\mathfrak{M}_{*,1}: it is the product of ΩMTSO(2)\Omega^\infty\mathbf{MTSO}(2) with a certain free Ω\Omega^\infty-space depending on the family of all boundary-irreducible mapping classes in all mapping class groups Γg,n\Gamma_{g,n} with g0g\geqslant 0 and n1n\geqslant 1.
