Abstract
The loop Space associated to a Riemannian manifold admits a quasi-symplectic structure (that is, a closed 2-form which is non-degenerate up to a finite-dimensional kernel). We show how to construct a compatible almost-complex structure. Finally conditions to have contact structures on loop spaces are studied.
