Algebraic models of non-simply connected spaces in string topology

I want to find some algebraic models relating string topology to Hochschild and cyclic homologies. If the space $X$ is simply-connected and we are working over rational numbers, we can use Sullivan ...

String cobracket from TFT

Let $M$ be a closed oriented manifold. Chas and Sullivan (https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0212358) introduced a Lie bialgebra structure on $H_\bullet^{S^1}(LM, M)$, $S^1$-equivariant homology of the loop ...

Hochschild chain model for the evaluation map at half

Let M be a manifold and $\Lambda(M)$ its free loop space, $A= C^*(M)$ denotes the cochain algebra of $M$. We know that Hochschild chain model for the evaluation $ ev_0: \Lambda(M) \rightarrow M$ is ...

Relation between Gerstenhaber bracket and Connes differential

Let $C$ be an arbitrary algebra (more generally, a linear 1-category). The following structures are well-known: A degree-0 product on the Hochschild cohomology $HH^*(C)$ $$ HH^*(C) \otimes HH^*(C) \...
