Double Poisson brackets and involutive representation spaces
Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic and be a finitely generated associative -algebra, in general noncommutative. One assigns to a sequence of commutative -algebras , , where is the coordinate ring of the space of -dimensional representations of the algebra . A double Poisson bracket on in the sense of Van den Bergh [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. (2008); arXiv:math/0410528] is a bilinear map from to , subject to certain conditions. Van den Bergh showed that any such bracket induces Poisson structures on all algebras . 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 . We call these subspaces the involutive representation spaces. They arise by imposing an additional symmetry condition on -- 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.
