Abstract

Let k\Bbbk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 00 and AA be a finitely generated associative k\Bbbk-algebra, in general noncommutative. One assigns to AA a sequence of commutative k\Bbbk-algebras O(A,d)\mathcal{O}(A,d), d=1,2,3,d=1,2,3,\dots, where O(A,d)\mathcal{O}(A,d) is the coordinate ring of the space Rep(A,d)\operatorname{Rep}(A,d) of dd-dimensional representations of the algebra AA. A double Poisson bracket on AA in the sense of Van den Bergh [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. (2008); arXiv:math/0410528] is a bilinear map { ⁣ ⁣{,} ⁣ ⁣}\{\!\!\{-,-\}\!\!\} from A×AA\times A to A2A^{\otimes 2}, subject to certain conditions. Van den Bergh showed that any such bracket { ⁣ ⁣{,} ⁣ ⁣}\{\!\!\{-,-\}\!\!\} induces Poisson structures on all algebras O(A,d)\mathcal{O}(A,d). We propose an analog of Van den Bergh's construction, which produces Poisson structures on the coordinate rings of certain subspaces of the representation spaces Rep(A,d)\operatorname{Rep}(A,d). We call these subspaces the involutive representation spaces. They arise by imposing an additional symmetry condition on Rep(A,d)\operatorname{Rep}(A,d) -- just as the classical groups from the series B, C, D are obtained from the general linear groups (series A) as fixed point sets of involutive automorphisms.
