Abstract: Let M be a 1-connected closed manifold and LM be the space of free loops on M. In cite{C-S} M. Chas and D. Sullivan defined a structure of BV-algebra on the singular homology of LM, . When the field of coefficients is of characteristic zero, we prove that there exists a BV-algebra structure on hHast(Cast(M);Cast(M)) which carries the canonical structure of Gerstenhaber algebra. We construct then an isomorphism of BV-algebras between hHast(Cast(M);Cast(M)) and the shifted . We also prove that the Chas-Sullivan product and the BV-operator behave well with the Hodge decomposition of Hast(LM).
