Chas–Sullivan's free loop space–Hochschild cohomology conjecture
Chas–Sullivan's free loop space–Hochschild cohomology conjecture
Let be a simply connected compact oriented smooth manifold, let be its free loop space, and write for shifted free loop homology, where . Let denote the algebra of singular cochains on , and let denote its Hochschild cohomology. Free loop space–Hochschild cohomology conjecture. There is an isomorphism of Gerstenhaber algebras
This conjecture is the proposed dictionary between string topology and Hochschild cohomology. The source states that it had not yet been proved at the time of writing; the precise general status is not supplied here.
