On smooth Chas-Sullivan loop product in Quillen's geometric complex cobordism of Hilbert manifolds

摘要

In [A.J. Baker, C. Ozel, Complex cobordism of Hilbert manifolds with some applications to flag varieties, Contemp. Math. 258 (2000) 1-19], by using Fredholm index we developed a version of Quillen's geometric cobordism theory for infinite dimensional Hilbert manifolds. This cobordism theory has a graded group structure under topological union operation and has push-forward maps for complex orientable Fredholm maps. In [C. Ozel, On Fredholm index, transversal approximations and Quillen's geometric complex cobordism of Hilbert manifolds with some applications to flag varieties of loop groups, in preparation], by using Quinn's Transversality Theorem [F. Quinn, Transversal approximation on Banach manifolds, Proc. Sympos. Pure Math. 15 (1970) 213-222], it has been shown that this cobordism theory has a graded ring structure under transversal intersection operation and has pull-back maps for smooth maps. It has been shown that the Thorn isomorphism in this theory was satisfied for finite dimensional vector bundles over separable Hilbert manifolds and the projection formula for Gysin maps has been proved. In [M. Chas, D. Sullivan, String topology, math.GT/9911159, 1999], Chas and Sullivan described an intersection product on the homology of loop space LM. In [R.L. Cohen, J.D.S. Jones, A homotopy theoretic realization of string topology, math.GT/0107187, 2001], R. Cohen and J. Jones described a realization of the Chas-Sullivan loop product in terms of a ring spectrum structure on the Thorn spectrum of a certain virtual bundle over the loop space. In this paper, we will extend this product on cobordism and bordism theories.
