Abstract

Let SS be a compact oriented surface with boundary together with finitely many marked points on the boundary, and let SS^\circ be the same surface equipped with the opposite orientation. We consider the double SDS_\mathcal{D} obtained by gluing the surfaces SS and SS^\circ along corresponding boundary components. We define a notion of lamination on the double and construct coordinates on the space of all such laminations. We show that this space of laminations is a tropical version of the symplectic double introduced by Fock and Goncharov. There is a canonical pairing between our laminations and the positive real points of the symplectic double. We derive an explicit formula for this pairing using the FF-polynomials of Fomin and Zelevinsky.
