Multiplicative structures on cones and duality
Rabinowitz Floer homology was originally defined as the Floer homology of the Rabinowitz action functional [\textit{K. Cieliebak} and \textit{U. A. Frauenfelder}, Pac. J. Math. 239, No. 2, 251--316 (2009; Zbl 1221.53112); Pac. J. Math. 249, No. 2, 509--510 (2011; Zbl 1208.53081)]. An alternative description as V-shaped symplectic homology was found in [\textit{K. Cieliebak} et al., Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 43, No. 6, 957--1015 (2010; Zbl 1213.53105)], relating Rabinowitz Floer homology to symplectic homology and cohomology. Yet another description of Rabinowitz Floer homology was found in [\textit{K. Cieliebak} et al., Algebr. Geom. Topol. 18, No. 4, 1953--2130 (2018; Zbl 1392.53093); \textit{S. Venkatesh}, J. Topol. 11, No. 1, 144--179 (2018; Zbl 1398.53095)] as the homology of the cone of a Floer continuation map, proving crucial to understand its functoriality properties and to extend the definition to non-exact settings.\N\NThese three viewpoints are not at all well suited for the study of algebraic structures. This paper defines and studies product structures on Rabinowitz Floer homology from the perspective of cones. Besides another proof of the Poincaré duality theorem [\textit{K. Cieliebak} et al., ``Poincaré duality for loop spaces, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2008.13161}] in this framework, the authors obtain new insights into such structures that are not available by other approaches. The underlying algebraic structure admits two incarnations, namely, the structure of \(A_{2}^{+}\)-algebra on the space \(\mathcal{A}\) of Floer chains on the one hand and the structure of \(A_{2}\)-algebra involving \(\mathcal{A}\), its dual \(\mathcal{A}^{\vee}\) and a continuation map from \(\mathcal{A}^{\vee}\) to \(\mathcal{A}\) on the other hand.\N\NNotions and results of this paper serve as inputs in several other papers\N\begin{itemize}\N\item[(1)] to relate the graded Frobenius algebra structure on Rabinowitz Floer homology of a unit cotangent bundle to that on Rabinowitz loop homology [\textit{K. Cieliebak} et al., J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 25, No. 2, Paper No. 59, 84 p. (2023; Zbl 1525.53087)], and\N\item[(2)] to prove the splitting theorem for Rabinowitz Floer homology in terms of symplectic homology and cohomology [\textit{K. Cieliebak} et al., ``Poincaré duality for loop spaces, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2008.13161}; \textit{K. Cieliebak} and \textit{A. Oancea}, ``Reduced symplectic homology and the secondary continuation map, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2209.02972}].\N\end{itemize}
