Let $X$ be a (connected, smooth) closed aspherical manifold. Let $LX:=Map(S^1,X)$ be the free loop space of $X$. Pick $x_0\in X$ and let $\Omega_{x_0}(X)$ be the based loop space of $X$ (based at $x_0$...

While reading Morse theory, closed geodesics, and the homology of free loop spaces, the author claims the following: Given the $S^{n-1} \hookrightarrow Y_1 \rightarrow T^1S^n$ bundle over $T^1S^n$, ...

I know very little about these subjects, so I apologise if this is a naive line of inquiry: Let $M$ be a smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold. I understand that it is possible to construct an ...
