Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of the Serre spectral sequence with respect to the algebraic structures of string topology in generalized homology theories, specificially with the Chas-Sullivan product and the corresponding coproduct and module structures. We prove compatibility for two kinds of fibre bundles: the fibre bundle ΩnMLnMM\Omega^n M \to L^n M \to M for an hh_*-oriented manifold MM and the looped fibre bundle LnFLnELnBL^n F \to L^n E \to L^n B of a fibre bunde FEBF \to E \to B of hh_*-oriented manifolds. Our method lies in the construction of Gysin morphisms of spectral sequences. We apply these results to study the ordinary homology of the free loop spaces of sphere bundles and generalized homologies of the free loop spaces of spheres and projective spaces.
