Cohen and V. Godin have proved that the homology of the free loop space of a closed oriented manifold with coefficients in a field has the structure of a Frobenius algebra without counit. In this short note we prove that when the characteristic of the field is zero and when the manifold is 1-connected the algebraic structure depends only on the rational homotopy type of the manifold. We build an algebraic model and use it to do some computations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2005-03-07T12:59:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55P35", "54N45", "55N33", "17A65", "81T30", "17B55" ], "keywords": [ "frobenius rational loop algebra", "rational homotopy type", "free loop space", "algebraic structure depends", "algebraic model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......7014C" } } }
