A Quantum Goldman Bracket for Loops on Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Constant 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 کاملDeformation of String Topology into Homotopy Skein Modules
Relations between the string topology of Chas and Sullivan and the homotopy skein modules of Hoste and Przytycki are studied. This provides new insight into the structure of homotopy skein modules and their meaning in the framework of quantum topology. Our results can be considered as weak extensions to all orientable 3-manifolds of classical results by Turaev and Goldman concerning intersectio...
متن کاملMinimal intersection of curves on surfaces
This paper is a consequence of the close connection between combinatorial group theory and the topology of surfaces. 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 sum over the intersection points of a pair of transversal representatives of th...
متن کاملLoops on Surfaces, Feynman Diagrams, and Trees
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.
متن کاملEnamel Surface Roughness after Orthodontic Bracket Debonding and Composite Resin Removal by Two Types of Burs
Objective: Increased enamel surface roughness following orthodontic bracket debonding leads to increased plaque accumulation and enamel decalcification. Therefore, different methods are employed to achieve smoother enamel surfaces after bracket debonding. This study compared enamel surface roughness following orthodontic bracket debonding and composite resin removal using white stone and tung...
