This product makes sense on the homology of maps from a co-H space to a manifold, and comes from a ring spectrum. We also build a holomorphic version of the product for maps of the Riemann sphere into homogeneous spaces. In the continuous case we define a related module structure on the homology of maps from a mapping cone into a manifold, and then describe a spectral sequence that can compute it. As a consequence we deduce a periodicity and dichotomy theorem when the source is a compact Riemann surface and the target is a complex projective space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2009-03-02T15:11:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58D15", "26C15", "55R20" ], "keywords": [ "rational maps", "string topology", "complex projective space", "riemann sphere", "higher loop homology" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......9137K" } } }
