Gerstenhaber duality in Hochschild cohomology (Q555958)

Let \(\mathbf k\) be a field, \(C\) a supplemented differential graded chain coalgebra and \(A= C^\vee\) its dual cochain algebra. Under assumptions on \(C\) the authors show that there is a natural isomorphism of Gerstenhaber algebras between the Hochschild cohomologies \[ HH^*(\bar{\Omega}C,\bar{\Omega}C)\to HH^*(A,A). \] Under the assumption that the isomorphism due to Cohen and Jones connecting loop space homology and Hochschild cohomology is an isomorphism of Gerstenhaber algebras, this is used to obtain a Hodge decomposition of the loop space homology of a closed oriented manifold, when the field of coefficients is of characteristic zero.
