Is the bar construction of a CDGA model a Hopf algebra model for the loop space?

By a theorem of Adams, if $A = C^*(X;\mathbb{Q})$ is the CDGA of rational cochains on $X$ then the cohomology of the bar complex of $A$ is isomorphic to $H^*(\Omega X; \mathbb{Q})$ as a coalgebra (see ...

String cobracket and co-Hochschild homology

Let $M$ be a closed oriented manifold and take a field of char. zero to be the ground ring. String Topology gives, to the homology $H_\bullet(LM)$ of the free loop space of $M$, the structure of ...
