In the following two sections we will show that also the lower two squares commute. By Theorem<br />

3.11, the composition of the two lower arrows is the pair-of-pants product. We conclude that the<br />

pair-of-pants product corresponds to the loop product.<br />

Again, the commutativity of the two lower squares will be seen at the chain level, by proving<br />

that the two squares below<br />

In this section we show that the chain maps ΦΘ L1⊕L2 ◦ M! and E ◦ (ΦΛ L1 ⊗ ΦΛ ) are homotopic. We<br />

L2<br />

start by constructing a one-parameter family of chain maps<br />

K Λ α : � M(ËΛ<br />

, g1) ⊗ M(ËΛ<br />

, g2) L1 L2 �<br />

∗ −→ F Θ ∗−n (H1 ⊕ H2, J1 ⊕ J2),<br />

where α is a non-negative number. The definition of KΛ α is based on the solution spaces of the<br />

consisting of a half-cylinder with a slit. More precisely,<br />

Floer equation on the Riemann surface ΣK α<br />

when α is positive ΣK α is the quotient of [0, +∞[×[0, 1] modulo the identifications<br />

(s, 0) ∼ (s, 1) ∀s ∈ [0, α].<br />

with the holomorphic coordinate at (α, 0) ∼ (α, 1) obtained from (43) by a translation by α.<br />

When α = 0, Σ K α = Σ K 0 is just the half-strip [0, +∞[×[0, 1]. Fix γ1 ∈ P Λ (L1), γ2 ∈ P Λ (L2),<br />

and x ∈ P Θ (H1 ⊕ H2). Let M K α (γ1, γ2; x) be the space of solutions u ∈ C ∞ (Σ K α , T ∗ M 2 ) of the<br />

equation<br />

satisfying the boundary conditions<br />

∂H1⊕H2,J(u) = 0,<br />

π ◦ u(0, ·) ∈ W u (γ1; −grad g1ËΛ L1 ) × W u (γ2; −grad g2ËΛ L2 ), (54)<br />

lim u(s, ·) = x.<br />

s→+∞<br />

Let us fix some α0 ≥ 0. The following result is proved in section 5.10:<br />

4.5. Proposition. For a generic choice of g1, g2, H1, and H2, M K α0 (γ1, γ2; x) - if non-empty -<br />

is a smooth manifold of dimension<br />

dimM K α0 (γ1, γ2; x) = m Λ (γ1; L1) + m Λ (γ2; L2) − µ Θ (x) − n.<br />

These manifolds carry coherent orientations.<br />

Compactness is again a consequence of the energy estimate<br />

implied by (49). When m Λ (γ1; L1) + m Λ (γ2; L2) = k and µ Θ (x; H1 ⊕ H2) = k − n, the space<br />

M K α0 (γ1, γ2; x) is a compact zero-dimensional oriented manifold. The usual counting process defines<br />

the homomorphism<br />

k → F Θ k−n (H1 ⊕ H2, J),<br />
