Zusammenfassung: The target of this project is Floer homology for the free loop space of a symplectic manifold. One of the main issues is to extend the understanding of Floer homology together with its pair-of-pants structure beyond the range of closed symplectic manifolds. For example a first step is the ring isomorphism with the Free Loop Space homology and its Loop Product in the case of the cotangent bundle. Further aims are the $S^1$-equivariant theory and the relation to String homology, as well as the connection with contact homology.
