Goldman and Turaev found a Lie bialgebra structure on the vector space generated by non-trivial free homotopy classes of curves on a surface. When the surface has non-empty boundary, this vector space has a basis of cyclic reduced words in…
W. Goldman and V. Turaev defined a Lie bialgebra structure on the $\mathbb Z$-module generated by free homotopy classes of loops of an oriented surface (i.e. the conjugacy classes of its fundamental group). We develop a generalization of…
Goldman and Turaev constructed a Lie bialgebra structure on the free $\mathbb{Z}$-module generated by free homotopy classes of loops on a surface. Turaev conjectured that his cobracket $\Delta(\alpha)$ is zero if and only if $\alpha$ is a…
The vector space $\V$ generated by the conjugacy classes in the fundamental group of an orientable surface has a natural Lie cobracket $\map{\delta}{\V}{\V\times \V}$. For negatively curved surfaces, $\delta$ can be computed from a geodesic…
The free $\mathbb{Z}$-module generated from the set of non-trivial homotopy classes of closed curves on an oriented surface has the structure of Lie bialgebra by two operations, the Goldman bracket and Turaev cobracket. M. Chas gave a…
In this paper, we describe a surprising link between the theory of the Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra on surfaces of genus zero and the Kashiwara-Vergne (KV) problem in Lie theory. Let $\Sigma$ be an oriented 2-dimensional manifold with…
For an oriented 2-dimensional manifold $\Sigma$ of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components the space $\mathbb{C}\pi_1(\Sigma)/[\mathbb{C}\pi_1(\Sigma), \mathbb{C}\pi_1(\Sigma)]$ carries the Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra structure defined in…
We introduce a family of maps parametrised by certain ribbon graphs. It is based on a connection in non-commutative geometry and contains the double divergence as a special case. Applying the construction to the case of the group algebra of…
The divergence map, an important ingredient in the algebraic description of the Turaev cobracket on a connected oriented compact surface with boundary, is reformulated in the context of non-commutative geometry using a flat connection on…
In the eighties Goldman discovered a Lie algebra structure on the vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented curves on an oriented surface. The Lie bracket [a,b] is defined as the signed sum over the intersection points…
The Turaev cobracket, a loop operation introduced by V. Turaev, which measures self-intersection of a loop on a surface, is a modification of a path operation introduced earlier by Turaev himself, as well as a counterpart of the Goldman…
Let $S$ be a closed connected oriented surface of genus $g>0$. We study a Poisson subalgebra $W_1(g)$ of $C^{\infty}(\mathrm{Hom}(\pi_1(S), \mathrm{GL}(1, \mathbb{R}))/\mathrm{GL}(1, \mathbb{R}))$, the smooth functions on the moduli space…
The construction of Lie bialgebra from double Lie algebra is presented. It is used to relate some types of cobracket on inhomogenous so(p,q) algebras with double Lie algebra structures on so(p+1,q) or so(p,q+1). Also it is shown that the…
We approach the classification of Lie bialgebra structures on simple Lie algebras from the viewpoint of descent and non-abelian cohomology. We achieve a description of the problem in terms faithfully flat cohomology over an arbitrary ring…
In this paper we give a combinatory proof of the Lie bialgebra structure presented in the vector space of reduced cyclic words. This structure was introduce by M. Chas in Combinatorial lie bialgebras of curves on surfaces, where the proof…
The string topology coproduct on the homology of the free loop space of a closed manifold induces a string cobracket on $S^1$-equivariant homology. We give a complete computation of the string topology coproduct for surfaces of higher genus…
We relate the author's Lie cobracket in the module additively generated by loops on a surface with the Connes-Kreimer Lie bracket in the module additively generated by trees. To this end we introduce a pre-Lie coalgebra and a (commutative)…
We generalize a result on the Heisenberg Lie algebra that gives restrictions to possible Lie bialgebra cobrackets on 2-step nilpotent algebras with some additional properties. For the class of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras coming from…
In two seminal papers Kontsevich used a construction called_graph homology_ as a bridge between certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras and various topological objects, including moduli spaces of curves, the group of outer automorphisms…
