As the loop space of a Riemannian manifold is infinite-dimensional, it is a non-trivial problem to make sense of the "top degree component " of a differential form on it. In this paper, we show that a formula from finite dimensions generalizes to assign a sensible "top degree component " to certain composite forms, obtained by wedging with the exponential (in the exterior algebra) of the canonical presymplectic 2-form on the loop space. This construction is a crucial ingredient for the definition of the supersymmetric path integral on the loop space. Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.
