Frobenius rational loop algebra (Q946865)

The authors consider the loop homology \(H_{*+m}(LM;k)\) of a closed oriented \(m\)-dimensional manifold \(M\) with coefficients in a field \(k\), which was proved by Cohen and Godin to have the structure of a unital Frobenius algebra without counit. They describe explicitly, for \(k\) having characteristic \(0\), the dual of the coproduct \(H^*(LM;k)^{\otimes^2}\to H^{*+m}(LM,k)\), and prove that it respedt the Hodge decompositin of \(H^*(LM;k)\).
