The bv algebra in string topology of classifying spaces

Publication date: 13 October 2016

Abstract: For almost any compact connected Lie group

G

and any field

m a t h b b F_{p}

, we compute the Batalin-Vilkoviskyalgebra

H^{* + e x t d i m G} (L B G; m a t h b b F_{p})

on the loop cohomology of the classifying space introduced byChataur and the second author.In particular, if

p

is odd or

p = 0

, this Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra is isomorphicto the Hochschild cohomology

H H^{*} (H_{*} (G), H_{*} (G))

. Over

m a t h b b F_{2}

, such isomorphism of Batalin-Vilkovisky algebrasdoes not hold when

G = S O (3)

or

G = G_{2}

.
