Abstract:
Let be a simply-connected closed oriented -dimensional manifold. We prove that for any field of coefficients there exists a natural homomorphism of commutative graded algebras where is the loop algebra defined by Chas and Sullivan. As usual denotes the monoid of self-equivalences homotopic to the identity, and the space of based loops. When is of characteristic zero, yields isomorphisms where denotes the Hodge decomposition on .
