Oriented-homotopy invariance conjecture for higher string topology operations
Oriented-homotopy invariance conjecture for higher string topology operations
Let and be oriented manifolds and let be an oriented homotopy equivalence, meaning a homotopy equivalence that sends the orientation of to an orientation of . Consider the string operations in the paper's main theorem together with the conjectured relative string topology operations.
Oriented-homotopy invariance conjecture. The operations of the main theorem and the conjectured relative string topology operations are oriented-homotopy invariant.
This would extend the known oriented-homotopy invariance of the Chas–Sullivan BV structure to the higher and relative string topology operations constructed or proposed in the paper. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
