Gwénaël Massuyeau, Vladimir Turaev

Short summary

A canonical quasi-Poisson bracket is introduced for N-dimensional linear representations of a surface's fundamental group, extending existing Poisson brackets on GLN-invariant functions.

Key points

  • Introduced a canonical quasi-Poisson bracket for N-dimensional linear representations of π1(Σ,*) for any N≥1.
  • The new bracket generalizes the known Poisson bracket on GLN-invariant functions on the representation space.
  • The construction utilizes a quasi-Poisson double algebra structure on the group algebra of π1(Σ,*).

Abstract

Given an oriented surface Σ with base point *∈∂Σ, we introduce for all N≥1, a canonical quasi-Poisson bracket on the space of N-dimensional linear representations of π1(Σ,*). Our bracket extends the well-known Poisson bracket on GLN-invariant functions on this space. Our main tool is a natural structure of a quasi-Poisson double algebra (in the sense of M. Van den Bergh) on the group algebra of π1(Σ,*).
