A Polarized View of String Topology

This entry is about the article

• Ralph Cohen, Veronique Godin, A polarized view of string topology, in Graeme Segal, Ulrike Tillmann (eds.) Topology, Geometry and Quantum Field Theory, LMS, Lecture Notes Series 308

  (arXiv:math/0303003)

on realization of closed-string topology operations as an HQFT.

See also the followup

• Veronique Godin, Higher string topology operations (arXiv:0711.4859)

for more details and the extension of open-closed HQFT.

And see example 4.2.16 and remark 4.2.17, in
