Lie algebras of curves and loop-bundles on surfaces

Alonso, Juan - Paternain, Miguel - Peraza, Javier - Reisenberger, Michael

Resumen:

W. Goldman and V. Turaev defined a Lie bialgebra structure on the 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 this construction replacing homotopies by thin homotopies, based on the combinatorial approach given by M.Chas. We use it to give a geometric proof of a characterization of simple curves in terms of the Goldman-Turaev bracket, which was conjectured by Chas.
