Abstract

We consider the symplectic groupoid of pairs (B,A)(B,\mathbb{A}) with A\mathbb A unipotent upper-triangular matrices and BGLnB\in GL_n being such that A~=BABT\widetilde {\mathbb A}=B{\mathbb A} B^{\text{T}} are also unipotent upper-triangular matrices. We explicitly solve this groupoid condition using Fock--Goncharov--Shen cluster variables and show that for BB satisfying the standard semiclassical Lie--Poisson algebra, the matrices BB, A\mathbb A, and A~\widetilde{\mathbb A} satisfy the closed Poisson algebra relations expressible in the rr-matrix form. Identifying entries of A\mathbb A and A~\widetilde {\mathbb A} with geodesic functions for geodesics on the two halves of a closed Riemann surface of genus g=n1g=n-1 separated by the Markov element, we are able to construct the geodesic function GBG_B ``dual'' to the Markov element. We thus obtain the complete cluster algebra description of Teichm\"uller space T2,0\mathcal T_{2,0} of genus two. We discuss also the generalization of our construction for higher genera. For genus larger than three we need a Hamiltonian reduction based on the rank condition rank(A+AT)4\hbox{rank\,}({\mathbb A}+{\mathbb A}^{\text{T}})\le 4; we present the example of such a reduction for T4,0\mathcal T_{4,0}.
