The string topology coproduct on the homology of the free loop space of a closed manifold induces a string cobracket on $S^1$-equivariant homology. We give a complete computation of the string topology coproduct for surfaces of higher genus…

We will use the tools developed in [Rie24] to give a Morse-theoretic description of a string topology product on the homology of the space of paths in a manifold Y with endpoints in a submanifold X and a module structure on this homology…

We establish the general machinery of string topology for differentiable stacks. This machinery allows us to treat on an equal footing free loops in stacks and hidden loops. In particular, we give a good notion of a free loop stack, and of…

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 $LM^{-TM}$ for a manifold $M$. Using this, they presented a proof of the statement…

The homology of the free and the based loop space of a compact globally symmetric space can be studied through explicit cycles. We use cycles constructed by Bott and Samelson and by Ziller to study the string topology coproduct and the…

By a well-known theorem of Viterbo, the symplectic homology of the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold is isomorphic to the homology of its loop space. In this paper we extend the scope of this isomorphism in several directions. First, we…

This paper explores the cup and cap products within the cohomology and homology groups of ample groupoids, focusing on their applications and fundamental properties. Ample groupoids, which are \'etale groupoids with a totally disconnected…

The aim of this paper is to define a chain level refinement of the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra structure on the homology of the free loop space of a closed, oriented $C^\infty$-manifold. For this purpose, we define a (nonsymmetric)…

In his Inventiones paper, Ziller (Invent. Math: 1-22, 1977) computed the integral homology as a graded abelian group of the free loop space of compact, globally symmetric spaces of rank 1. Chas and Sullivan (String Topology, 1999)showed…

We refine the intersection product in homology to an equivariant setting, which unifies several known constructions. As an application, we give a common generalisation of the Chas-Sullivan string product on a manifold and the…

Let M be a smooth, simply-connected, closed oriented manifold, and LM the free loop space of M. Using a Poincare duality model for M, we show that the reduced equivariant homology of LM has the structure of a Lie bialgebra, and we construct…
