   Title: A Reprise on the Closed Geodesics Problem

Abstract.  

The advent of new structure on the homology of the free loop space,
string topology, has produced new tools with which to study the closed
geodesics problem. The talk will consider how the new tools can be
applied and illuminate what we know to date on the problem. Joint work
with John D.S. Jones.
