A Quantum Goldman Bracket for Loops on Surfaces
In the context of (2+1)–dimensional gravity, we use holonomies of constant connections which generate a q–deformed representation of the fundamental group to derive signed area phases which relate the quantum matrices assigned to homotopic loops. We use these features to determine a quantum Goldman bracket (commutator) for intersecting loops on surfaces, and discuss the resulting quantum geometry.
متن کاملConstant connections, quantum holonomies and the Goldman bracket
In the context of 2 + 1–dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant and topology R×T 2, constant matrix–valued connections generate a q–deformed representation of the fundamental group, and signed area phases relate the quantum matrices assigned to homotopic loops. Some features of the resulting quantum geometry are explored, and as a consequence a quantum version of the Gol...
متن کاملThe Lie bialgebra of loops on surfaces of Goldman and Turaev
The coproduct is given by summing over self-intersections and removing the intersection point, and smoothing to obtain two paths. Precisely, let ∩α denote the set of self-intersections of α (assuming α is in general position). The coproduct is then given by summing over selfintersections and removing the intersection point, and smoothing to obtain two paths. Then δ(〈α〉) = ∑ q∈∩α 〈α1 q〉 ∧ 〈α2 q〉...

We show that the Chebyshev polynomials form a basic block of any positive basis of the Kauffman bracket skein algebras of surfaces.
متن کاملComputing Handle and Tunnel Loops on Surfaces
Nonseparating loops on surfaces generate their first homology group. Among these loops the ones which become trivial in the homology of the bounded space bordered by the surface are called handle loops. The other ones which become trivial in the homology of the unbounded space bordered by the surface are called tunnel loops. The handle and tunnel loops help identifying handles and tunnels for a...
