Abstract

We prove a generalization of Kawai theorem for the case of orbifold Riemann surface. The computation is based on a formula for the differential of a holomorphic map from the cotangent bundle of the Teichm\"uller space to the PSL(2,C)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})-character variety, which allows to evaluate explicitly the pullback of Goldman symplectic form in the spirit of Riemann bilinear relations. As a corollary, we obtain a generalization of Goldman's theorem that the pullback of Goldman symplectic from on PSL(2,R)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})-character variety is a symplectic form of the Weil-Petersson metric on the Teichm\"uller space.
