The author defines a Novikov homology theory for the space of smooth contractible loops of a closed manifold \(N\) and proves the commutativity of a certain diagram induced by a Lagrangian embedding of a manifold \(L\) into the cotangent bundle \(T^*N.\) As an application he proves that if a Lagrangian embedding \(L\to T^*N\) is exact and \(N\) is simply connected then the image of \(\pi_2(L)\to \pi_2(N)\) has finite index and \(H^2(N)\to H^2(L)\) is injective. The above homomorphisms are induced by the Lagrangian embedding composed with the projection.
