Abstract

We construct a non-commutative analogue of the modular vector field on a Poisson manifold for a given pair of a double bracket and a connection on a space of 1-forms. The key ingredient, the triple divergence map, is directly constructed from a connection on a linear category to deal with multiple base points. As an application, we give an algebraic description of the framed, groupoid version of Turaev's loop operation μ\mu similar to the one obtained by Alekseev-Kawazumi-Kuno-Naef and the author.
