Abstract

We propose a construction of a double quasi-Poisson bracket on the group algebra associated to the twisted fundamental group of a marked oriented surface (S,P)(S,P) with boundary, where PP is a finite set of marked points on the boundary of the surface SS such that on every boundary component there is at least one point of PP. We show that this double bracket is a noncommutative generalization of the well-known Goldman bracket, defined on the space of free homotopy classes of loops on SS. For an algebra AA without polynomial identities, we construct a double bracket on the space of decorated twisted GLn(A)\mathrm{GL}_n(A)-, symplectic and indefinite orthogonal local systems.
