AB - We use the computational power of rational homotopy theory to provide an explicit cochain model for the loop product and the string bracket of a simply connected closed manifold $M$.
We prove that the loop homology of $M$ is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology of the cochain algebra $C^*(M)$ with coefficients in $C^*(M)$. Some explicit computations of the loop product and
the string bracket are given.
