Abstract
Let be a closed, oriented and smooth manifold of dimension . Let be the space of smooth loops in . Chas and Sullivan introduced loop product, a product of degree on the homology of . In this paper we show how for three manifolds the ``nontriviality'' of the loop product relates to the ``hyperbolicity'' of the underlying manifold. This is an application of the existing powerful tool and results in three dimensional topology such as the prime decomposition, torus decomposition, Seifert theorem, torus theorem.
