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

The earlier chapters are quite good; however, some of the advanced topics in this book are better approached (appreciated) after one has learned about them elsewhere, at a more leisurely pace. For instance, this isn't the best place to first read about characteristic classes and topological K the
