Abstract

Let LL and NN be two smooth manifolds of the same dimension. Let j ⁣:LTNj\colon L\to T^*N be an exact Lagrange embedding. We denote the free loop space of XX by ΛX\Lambda X. C. Viterbo constructed a transfer map (Λj)! ⁣:H(ΛL)H(ΛN)(\Lambda j)^! \colon H^*(\Lambda L) \to H^*(\Lambda N). This transfer was constructed using finite dimensional approximation of Floer homology. In this paper we define a family of finite dimensional approximations and realize this transfer as a map of Thom spectra: (Λj)! ⁣:(ΛN)TN(ΛL)TL+η(\Lambda j)_! \colon (\Lambda N)^{-TN} \to (\Lambda L)^{-TL+\eta}, where η\eta is a virtual vector bundle classified by the tangential information of jj.

100 pages, 10 figures. Written in PDFLatex. The third version is an extensive rewrite of the second (including a correction of a small error on the bound of r in the new Proposition 10.1 - this appeared in the second version - but not the first version).
