Are these two concepts of a differential form on the loop space equivalent?

Notation: Let $X$ denote a smooth manifold (without boundary) and define $LX = C^{\infty}(S^1, X)$ to be the loop space on $X$. In the context of loop space homology and the supersymmetric path ...

The free smooth path space on a manifold

Let $M$ be a closed, smooth manifold and let $PM$ be the space of unbased piecewise smooth paths $[0,1] \to M$. Then restricting a path to its boundary gives a map $$ PM \to M \times M . $$ Question ...
