On string topology of three manifolds

Let M be a closed, oriented and smooth manifold of dimension d. Let LM be the space of smooth loops in M. In [String topology, preprint math.GT/9911159] Chas and Sullivan introduced the loop product, a product of degree -d on the homology of LM. We aim at identifying the three manifolds with “nontrivial” loop product. This is an application of some existing powerful tools in three-dimensional topology such as the prime decomposition, torus decomposition, Seifert fiber space theorem, torus theorem.
