contents We study the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds in standard symplectic vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^n$ using ideas from open-closed string topology. Specifically, for a closed, oriented, spin Lagrangian $L$, we construct a (possibly curved) deformation of the dg associative algebra of chains on the based loop space of $L$. This is done via pushing forward moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic discs with boundaries on $L$, viewed as chains in the free loop space, along a string topology closed-open map. As an application, we prove that if $π_2(L)=0$, then $L$ has non-vanishing Maslov class, generalizing previous results due to Viterbo, Cieliebak-Mohnke, Fukaya, and Irie.
