Abstract
String topology is the study of operations on the homology of the free loop space LM for M a closed manifold. I will describe a model for (S^1-equivariant) string topology over the reals in terms of graph complexes. The construction comes together with an action of a graphical model for an approximation of the group of diffeomorphisms. From this we will be able to speculate how homotopy-invariant string topology is. Concretely, we will see that string topology is not invariant in families, by showing that \pi_) does not preserve the string coproduct and picks up an error term coming from a map \pi_(aut(M)) → H_ that vanishes on \pi_(Diff(M)). Finally, I will explain how this last part depends only on the configuration space of two points. This is based on joint work with T. Willwacher.
