Abstract

Let M be a simply-connected closed oriented N-dimensional manifold. We prove that for any field of coefficients there exists a natural homomorphism of commutative graded algebras Ψ: H_∗ (Ωaut1 M) → H∗ +N(MS1) where H_∗ (MS1) is the loop algebra defined by Chas-Sullivan. As usual aut1 X (resp. ΩX) denotes the monoid of the self-equivalences homotopic to the identity map (resp. the space of based loops) of the space X. Moreover, if \bk is of characteristic zero, Ψ yields isomorphisms πn(Ωaut1 M) ⊗ \bk ≅ \hHn+N(1) where ⊕l=1^∞ \hHn(l) denotes the Hodge decomposition on H^∗ (M S1).
