β¦ Synopsis
The book is a basic introduction to the subject, divided into three parts. The first, Chapters 1 and 2, is background material on exact couples and Hochschild homology for the beginning reader. In Chapters 3, 4, 5 three definitions of cyclic homology are considered, its invariance under Morita equivalence, its relation to Lie algebra homology, and the Connes' B operator. The third part, Chapters 6 and 7, relates cyclichomology to differential forms and shows how the Chern character takes values in cyclic homology. Included is the classical Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem relating differential forms to Hochschild homology.

Free loop spaces play a central role in both string topology and topological cyclic homology, a topological version of Connes' cyclic homology. The first part focuses on string topology and discusses the loop product from different points of view. The second part is devoted to the construction of al
<P>The subject of this book is string topology, Hochschild and cyclic homology. The first part consists of an excellent exposition of various approaches to string topology and the Chas-Sullivan loop product. The second gives a complete and clear construction of an algebraic model for computing topol
