Abstract

We study the $E_2$-algebra $\Lambda\mathfrak{M}_{*,1}=\coprod_{g\geqslant 0}\Lambda\mathfrak{M}_{g,1}$ consisting of free loop spaces of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with one parametrised boundary component, and compute the homotopy type of the group completion $\Omega B\Lambda\mathfrak{M}_{*,1}$: it is the product of $\Omega^\infty\mathbf{MTSO}(2)$ with a certain free $\Omega^\infty$-space depending on the family of all boundary-irreducible mapping classes in all mapping class groups $\Gamma_{g,n}$ with $g\geqslant 0$ and $n\geqslant 1$.<br />Comment: 59 pages, 11 figures; accepted version (Forum of Mathematics, Sigma)
