We construct chain-level $S^1$-equivariant string topology for each simply connected closed manifold. This amounts to constructing a Maurer-Cartan element for the canonical involutive Lie bialgebra (IBL) structure on the dual cyclic bar complex of its de Rham cohomology which is unique up to ${\rm IBL}_\infty$ gauge equivalence. The construction involves integrals over configuration spaces associated to trivalent ribbon graphs, which can be seen as a version of perturbative Chern-Simons theory in arbitrary dimension.

  1. String topology operations under Chen's iterated integrals and homotopy transfer

    math.DG 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Chen iterated integrals plus homotopy transfer intertwine the involutive Lie bialgebra of S1-equivariant string topology with the IBL operations on the dual cyclic bar complex of a harmonic subspace.

  2. A cord algebra for tori in three-space

    math.SG 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A cord algebra is defined for tori surrounding knots and identified with the knot cord algebra, indirectly relating it to Legendrian contact homology of the unit conormal bundle.

  3. Calabi-Yau Deformation Quantization

    math.QA 2026-07 conditional novelty 3.0

    A Calabi-Yau version of Kontsevich's formality morphism is recorded, yielding canonical closed deformation quantizations for unimodular holomorphic Poisson Calabi-Yau manifolds.
