Poisson geometry of flat connections for \(\text{SU}(2)\)-bundles on surfaces (Q1910197)

In earlier works we have shown that the moduli space \(N\) of flat connections for the (trivial) \(\text{SU}(2)\)-bundle on a closed surface of genus \(\ell\geq 2\) is a stratified symplectic space so that, in particular, the data give rise to a Poisson algebra \((C^\infty N,\{\cdot,\cdot\})\) of continuous functions on \(N\); furthermore, the strata are Kähler manifolds, and the stratification consists of an open connected and dense submanifold \(N_Z\) of real dimension \(6 (\ell-1)\), a connected stratum \(N_{(T)}\) of real dimension \(2\ell\), and \(2^{2\ell}\) isolated points. In this paper we show that, close to each point of \(N_{(T)}\), the space \(N\) and Poisson algebra \((C^\infty N,\{\cdot,\cdot\})\) look like a product of \(C^\ell\) endowed with the standard symplectic Poisson structure with the reduced space and Poisson algebra of the system of \((\ell-1)\) particles in the plane with total angular momentum zero, while close to one of the isolated points, the Poisson algebra \((C^\infty N,\{\cdot,\cdot\})\) looks like that of the reduced system of \(\ell\) particles in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) with total angular momentum zero. Moreover, in the genus two case where the space \(N\) is known to be smooth we locally describe the Poisson algebra \((C^\infty N,\{\cdot,\cdot\})\) and the various underlying symplectic structures on the strata and their mutual positions explicitly in terms of the Poisson structure.
