As the loop space of a Riemannian manifold is infinite-dimensional, it is a non-trivial problem to make sense of the top degree component of a differential form on it. In this paper, we show that a formula from finite dimensions generalizes to assign a sensible top degree component to certain composite forms, obtained by wedging with the exponential (in the exterior algebra) of the canonical 2-form on the loop space. The result is a section on the Pfaffian line bundle on the loop space. We then identify this with a section of the line bundle obtained by transgression of the spin lifting gerbe. These results are a crucial ingredient for defining the fermionic part of the supersymmetric path integral on the loop space.

We shall give a twisted Dirac structure on the space of irreducible connections on a SU(n)-bundle over a three-manifold, and give a family of twisted Dirac structures on the space of irreducible connections on the trivial SU(n)-bundle over a four-man
ifold. The twist is described by the Cartan 3-form on the space of connections. It vanishes over the subspace of flat connections. So the spaces of flat connections are endowed with ( non-twisted ) Dirac structures. The Dirac structure on the space of flat connections over the three-manifold is obtained as the boundary restriction of a corresponding Dirac structure over the four-manifold. We discuss also the action of the group of gauge transformations over these Dirac structures.
Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on $mathcal{P}
(M)$ by volume-preserving diffeomorphism of $M$. We then define an invariant of a Poisson structure that describes fixed points of the flow equation and compute it for regular Poisson 3-manifolds, where it detects unimodularity. For unimodular Poisson structures we define a further, related Poisson bracket and show that for symplectic structures the associated invariant counting fixed points of the flow equation is given in terms of the $d d^Lambda$ and $d+ d^Lambda$ symplectic cohomology groups defined by Tseng and Yau.
This is a survey based on joint work with Florian Hanisch and Batu Guneysu reporting on a rigorous construction of the supersymmetric path integral associated to compact spin manifolds.
In this short note, we investigate some features of the space $Inject{d}{m}$ of linear injective maps from $bbR^d$ into $bbR^m$; in particular, we discuss in detail its relationship with the Stiefel manifold $V_{m,d}$, viewed, in this context, as the
set of orthonormal systems of $d$ vectors in $bbR^m$. Finally, we show that the Stiefel manifold $V_{m,d}$ is a deformation retract of $Inject{d}{m}$. One possible application of this remarkable fact lies in the study of perturbative invariants of higher-dimensional (long) knots in $bbR^m$: in fact, the existence of the aforementioned deformation retraction is the key tool for showing a vanishing lemma for configuration space integrals {`a} la Bott--Taubes (see cite{BT} for the 3-dimensional results and cite{CR1}, cite{C} for a first glimpse into higher-dimensional knot invariants).
We address the construction of smooth bundles of fermionic Fock spaces, a problem that appears frequently in fermionic gauge theories. Our main motivation is the spinor bundle on the free loop space of a string manifold, a structure anticipated by Ki
llingback, with a construction outlined by Stolz-Teichner. We develop a general framework for constructing smooth Fock bundles, and obtain as an application a complete and well-founded construction of spinor bundles on loop space.
