Let G be a compact Lie group or a complex reductive affine algebraic group. We explore induced mappings between G-character varieties of surface groups by mappings between corresponding surfaces. It is shown that these mappings are…
A family of new algebraic Poisson varieties will be constructed, generalising the complex character varieties of Riemann surfaces. Then the well-known (Poisson) mapping class group actions on the character varieties will be generalised.
We use Bonahon-Wong's trace map to study character varieties of the once-punctured torus and of the 4-punctured sphere. We clarify a relationship with cluster algebra associated with ideal triangulations of surfaces, and we show that the…
A Kauffman bracket on a surface is an invariant for framed links in the thickened surface, satisfying the Kauffman skein relation and multiplicative under superposition. This includes representations of the skein algebra of the surface. We…
In this paper we introduce the concept of decorated character variety for the Riemann surfaces arising in the theory of the Painlev\'e differential equations. Since all Painlev\'e differential equations (apart from the sixth one) exhibit…
We show that the character variety for a $n$-punctured oriented surface has a natural Poisson structure.
In this paper, we study wild character varieties on compact Riemann surfaces and construct Poisson maps from wild to tame character varieties by unfolding irregular singularities into regular ones. Furthermore, we show that these unfolding…
We define a (co-)Poisson (co)algebra of curves on a bordered surface. A bordered surface is a surface whose boundary have marked points. Curves on the bordered surface are oriented loops and oriented arcs whose endpoints in the set of…
The SL(3,C)-representation variety R of a free group F arises naturally by considering surface group representations for a surface with boundary. There is a SL(3,C)-action on the coordinate ring of R by conjugation. The geometric points of…
Let X be a smooth algebraic variety over a field of characteristic 0. We introduce the notion of twisted associative (resp. Poisson) deformation of the structure sheaf O_X. These are stack-like versions of usual deformations. We prove that…
We show that a Frobenius reciprocity map on character varieties of surfaces is a Poisson embedding.
The purpose of the present work is to describe a dequantization procedure for topological modules over a deformed algebra. We define the characteristic variety of a topological module as the common zeroes of the annihilator of the…
We study the space of measured laminations ML on a closed surface from the valuative point of view. We introduce and study a notion of Newton polytope for an algebraic function on the character variety. We prove for instance that trace…
The aim of this paper is to find all algebraic threefolds admitting quasi-regular Poisson structure. There are three types of such varieties: abelian varieties, smooth flat conic bundles over abelian surfaces and quotients of the product of…
Let X be a smooth algebraic variety over a field K containing the real numbers. We introduce the notion of twisted associative (resp. Poisson) deformation of the structure sheaf of X. These are stack-like versions of usual deformations. We…
In this paper we are interested in two kinds of (stacky) character varieties associated to a compact non-orientable surface. (A) We consider the quotient stack of the space of representations of the fundamental group of this surface to…
These notes grew out of our learning and applying the methods of Fock and Goncharov concerning moduli spaces of real projective structures on surfaces with ideal triangulations. We give a self-contained treatment of Fock and Goncharov's…
We give a new proof that the Poisson boundary of a planar graph coincides with the boundary of its square tiling and with the boundary of its circle packing, originally proven by Georgakopoulos and Angel, Barlow, Gurel-Gurevich and Nachmias…
The powerful character variety techniques of Culler and Shalen can be used to find essential surfaces in knot manifolds. We show that module structures on the coordinate ring of the character variety can be used to identify detected…
In this paper, we give a simple and geometric, but formal, description of an open subset of the character variety of surface groups into $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$. The main ingredient is a modified version of the WKB method, which we call…
