Title

:

"The Batalin-Vilkovisky structure on a model of the loop space Homology"
Abstract

:

Let X be a closed, simply connected and orientable manifold of dimension m and LX the space of free loops on X. We use Rational Homotopy Theory to construct a model for the loop space homology. We further define a BV structure which is equivalent, in some cases, to the Chas-Sullivan BV operator.
