Abstract:
For a certain class of topological stacks (including quotients of smooth compact Lie group actions on manifolds) we show the existence of the string product on the homology of the loop stack. The main technical tool is the Fulton-MacPherson bivariant theory. This is a joint work with K. Behrend, G. Ginot, and P. Xu.
