Abstract

We recall the fat-graph description of Riemann surfaces Σg,s,n\Sigma_{g,s,n} and the corresponding Teichm\"uller spaces Tg,s,n\mathfrak T_{g,s,n} with s>0s>0 holes and n>0n>0 bordered cusps in the hyperbolic geometry setting. If n>0n>0, we have a bijection between the set of Thurston shear coordinates and Penner's λ\lambda-lengths and we can induce, on the one hand, the Poisson bracket on λ\lambda-lengths from the Poisson bracket on shear coordinates introduced by V.V.Fock in 1997 and, on the other hand, a symplectic structure ΩWP\Omega_{\text{WP}} on the set of extended shear coordinates from Penner's symplectic structure on λ\lambda-lengths. We derive ΩWP\Omega_{\text{WP}}, which turns out to be similar to the Kontsevich symplectic structure for ψ\psi-classes in complex-analytic geometry, and demonstrate that it is indeed inverse to the Fock Poisson structure.
