String topology chain-map conjecture for simply-connected manifolds

Let MM be an oriented closed manifold of dimension nn. Let Csing(\Loop\Sph1M;R)C^{\mathrm{sing}}(\Loop_{\Sph{1}}M;\R) be the smooth singular chain complex with boundary \Bdd\Bdd, and let \CDBCyc\Harm(M)\CDBCyc\,\Harm(M) carry the differential \OPQ110\PMC\OPQ_{110}^\PMC. String topology chain-map conjecture. There is a chain map

(Csing(\Loop\Sph1M;R),\Bdd)(\CDBCyc\Harm(M),\OPQ110\PMC)(C^{\mathrm{sing}}(\Loop_{\Sph{1}}M;\R),\Bdd)\longrightarrow(\CDBCyc\,\Harm(M),\OPQ_{110}^\PMC)

which, when MM is simply connected, induces the stated reduced homology isomorphism, intertwines \StringOp2\StringOp_2 with \OPQ210\OPQ_{210}, and makes the pullback of \OPQ120\PMC\OPQ_{120}^\PMC compatible with \StringCoOp2\StringCoOp_2 under the inclusion (\LoopM,x0)(\LoopM,M)(\Loop M,x_0)\to(\Loop M,M). This packages the conjectural chain-level realization of string topology operations; the source gives no resolution.
