    For a compact manifold \(M\) endowed with a bumpy Finsler metric, the author considers the free loop space of absolutely continuous closed curves \(\gamma:S^1{\rightarrow}M\) with finite energy and the canonical action of the group \(S^1\) on it. Using Morse theory for the energy functional, the author constructs with the help of a space of geodesic polygons an equivariant \(CW\) complex which is \(S^1\)-homotopy equivalent to the free loop space.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1237.58002].
