    The construction of the loop product introduced by Chas and Sullivan on the homology of the free loop space on a compact connected manifold has been extended to classifying spaces by \textit{D. Chataur} and \textit{L. Menichi} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 669, 1--45 (2012; Zbl 1253.55008)] and extended more generally to Gorenstein spaces [\textit{Y. Félix} and \textit{J.-C. Thomas}, Math. Ann. 345, No. 2, 417--452 (2009; Zbl 1204.55008)]. In particular if \(\Gamma\) is a compact connected Lie group acting on a simply connected compact manifold \(M\), then in the Borel fibration \(M\to E_\Gamma \to B\Gamma\), the space \(E_\Gamma\) is a Gorenstein space. In this paper, using methods from rational homotopy theory, the author gives explicit formulas for the loop product on \(H_*(E_\Gamma^{S^1};\mathbb Q)\).
