Abstract: In cite{baker-ozel}, by using Fredholm index we developed a version of Quillen's geometric cobordism theory for infinite dimensional Hilbert manifolds. This cobordism theory has a graded group structure under topological union operation and has push-forward maps for complex orientable Fredholm maps. In cite{cenap-isr}, by using Quinn's Transversality Theorem cite{Quinn}, it has been shown that this cobordism theory has a graded ring structure under transversal intersection operation and has pull-back maps for smooth maps. It has been shown that the Thom isomorphism in this theory was satisfied for finite dimensional vector bundles over separable Hilbert manifolds and the projection formula for Gysin maps has been proved. In cite{chas}, Chas and Sullivan described an intersection product on the homology of loop space

. In cite{cohen}, R. Cohen and J. Jones described a realization of the Chas-Sullivan loop product in terms of a ring spectrum structure on the Thom spectrum of a certain virtual bundle over the loop space. In this paper, we will extend this product on cobordism and bordism theories.

Review text

For \(M\) a closed complex manifold let LM denote the space of smooth loops in \(M\). [\textit{M. Chas} and \textit{D. Sullivan}, The legacy of Niels Henrik Abel. Papers from the Abel bicentennial conference, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway, June 3--8, 2002. Berlin: Springer. 771--784 (2004; Zbl 1068.55009)] showed that \(H_*(\text{LM})\) has an intersection product of degree \(-d\) and \textit{R. Cohen} and \textit{J. Jones} [Math. Ann. 324, 773--798 (2002; Zbl 1025.55005)] realized this product as a ring spectrum structure on the Thom spectrum of a certain virtual bundle over LM. The paper under review shows that the Cohen-Jones result extends to give a product on the complex bordism of LM. This result has also been established by \textit{D. Chataur} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 46, 2829--2875 (2005; Zbl 1086.55004)] and by \textit{V. Chernov} and \textit{Y. Rudyak} [Algebraic structures on generalized strings, math.GT/0306140]. Readers familiar with the Cohen-Jones paper may be mystified by a reference in the paper under review (on p. 2113) to a mistake in the Cohen-Jones paper. This refers to a (rather minor) gap that occurred in a preliminary version of that paper and which was corrected in the published version cited above.
