This talk will be a tour of a couple of problems in the differential topology of
loop spaces. We shall do a "compare and contrast" between these problems
and their finite dimensional analogues, with the aim of illustrating some of the
intriguing aspects of infinite dimensional manifolds.
The problems that we shall focus on are those of defining analogues of
differential operators on manifolds, in particular the Dirac and the
(semi-infinite) de Rham operators.
