Van Den Bergh isomorphisms in String Topology
Abstract
Let be a path-connected closed oriented -dimensional smooth manifold and let be a principal ideal domain. By Chas and Sullivan, the shifted free loop space homology of , is a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. Let be a topological group such that is a classifying space of . Denote by the (normalized) singular chains on . Suppose that is discrete or path-connected. We show that there is a Van Den Bergh type isomorphism Therefore, the Gerstenhaber algebra is a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra and we have a linear isomorphism This linear isomorphism is expected to be an isomorphism of Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras. We also give a new characterization of Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra in term of derived bracket.
