We use these models to simplify the proofs and computations of some of the results in string topology. Along the way we also make some new observations. We further discuss how nonnilpotent local level homology classes with respect to the Chas–Sullivan and the Goresky–Hingston product detect closed geodesics with optimal index growth rates UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s13226-022-00306-w ER -
