Abstract

Let O\mathcal{O} be a closed orientable 2-orbifold of negative Euler characteristic. Huebschmann constructed the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman type symplectic form ω\omega on the deformation space C(O)\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{O}) of convex projective structures on O\mathcal{O}. We show that the deformation space C(O)\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{O}) of convex projective structures on O\mathcal{O} admits a global Darboux coordinates system with respect to ω\omega. To this end, we show that C(O)\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{O}) can be decomposed into smaller symplectic spaces. In the course of the proof, we also study the deformation space C(O)\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{O}) for an orbifold O\mathcal{O} with boundary and construct the symplectic form on the deformation space of convex projective structures on O\mathcal{O} with fixed boundary holonomy.
