Abstract
We prove that the pair-of-pants product on the Floer homology of the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold corresponds to the Chas–Sullivan loop product on the singular homology of the loop space of . We also prove related results concerning the Floer homological interpretation of the Pontrjagin product and of the Serre fibration. The techniques include a Fredholm theory for Cauchy–Riemann operators with jumping Lagrangian boundary conditions of conormal type, and a new cobordism argument replacing the standard gluing technique.
