    Quasi-Poisson structures on representation spaces of surfaces (English)
    0 references
    This paper generalizes the well-known Poisson bracket to invariant functions on representation spaces of surfaces. First, the authors give the definition of quasi-Poisson algebras. The theory of Van den Bergh is recalled and it is shown how to derive double brackets from Fox pairings. The canonical quasi-Poisson bracket is introduced. Finally, the authors consider moment maps and discuss surfaces without boundary. The extension of the construction to Fuchsian groups is also described.
