Infinity inner products on A-infinity algebras

We give a self contained introduction to A$_\infty$-algebras, A$_\infty$-bimodules and maps between them. The case of A$_\infty$-bimodule-map between $A$ and its dual space $A^{*}$, which we call $\infty$-inner-product, will be investigated in detail. In particular, we describe the graph complex associated to $\infty$-inner-product. In a later paper, we show how $\infty$-inner-products can be used to model the string topology BV-algebra on the free loop space of a Poincar\'e duality space.
