Abstract

For almost any compact connected Lie group GG and any field F_p\mathbb{F}\_p, we compute the Batalin-Vilkoviskyalgebra H+dim G(LBG;F_p)H^{*+\text{dim }G}(LBG;\mathbb{F}\_p) on the loop cohomology of the classifying space introduced byChataur and the second author.In particular, if pp is odd or p=0p=0, this Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra is isomorphicto the Hochschild cohomology HH(H_(G),H_(G))HH^*(H\_*(G),H\_*(G)). Over F_2\mathbb{F}\_2, such isomorphism of Batalin-Vilkovisky algebrasdoes not hold when G=SO(3)G=SO(3) or G=G_2G=G\_2.
