The string topology coproduct on complex and quaternionic projective space
@inproceedings{Stegemeyer2022TheST, title={The string topology coproduct on complex and quaternionic projective space}, author={Maximilian Stegemeyer}, year={2022} }
A BSTRACT . On the free loop space of compact symmetric spaces Ziller introduced explicit cycles generating the homology of the free loop space. We use these explicit cycles to compute the string topology coproduct on complex and quaternionic projective space. The behavior of the Goresky- Hingston product for these spaces then follows directly.

We describe two major string topology operations, the Chas-Sullivan product and the Goresky-Hingston coproduct, from geometric and algebraic perspectives. The geometric construction uses…

The free loop space of a Lie group is homeomorphic to the product of the Lie group itself and its based loop space. We show that the coproduct on the homology of the free loop space that was…

In the study of closed geodesics the free loop space A(M)={c: S1--,M} is a natural tool. It can be made into a Hilbert manifold and the energy integral is a C ~ function on A(M) whose critical points…

Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold. We extend the product of Goresky-Hingston, on the cohomology of the free loop space of M relative to the constant loops, to a nonrelative product. It is…
