Gauge fixing and classical dynamical \(r\)-matrices in \(\mathrm{ISO}(2, 1)\)-Chern-Simons theory (Q2447601)

In the present paper the authors apply the Dirac gauge fixing procedure in order to obtain a description of the moduli space of flat \(\mathrm{ISO}(2, 1)\)-connections in terms of an ambient space with an auxiliary Poisson structure. Also, they investigate a large class of gauge fixing conditions subject to two well-motivated structural requirements, namely that the gauge fixing is based on the choice of two punctures on the underying Riemann surface and that it preserves the natural \(\mathbb N\)-grading of the auxiliary Poisson structure. Then, a one-to-one correspondence is proved between the Poisson algebras obtained from gauge fixing and the solutions of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation (CDYBE) and of a set of additional equations. The latter can be viewed as the counterpart of the usual requirement of invariance of the classical dynamical \(r\)-matrices under the action of a fixed Cartan subalgebra. These solutions of the CDYBE are a generalization of classical dynamical \(r\)-matrices in which the associated two-dimensional Lie subalgebras of \(\mathfrak{iso}(2,1)\) vary with the dynamical variables. It is proved how a change of gauge fixing conditions affects the associated solutions of the CDYBE and also it is shown that this change corresponds to the action of dynamical Poincaré transformations. These dynamical Poincaré transformations generalise the gauge transformations of classical dynamical \(r\)-matrices. It is found that every solution obtained via these gauge fixing can be transformed into one of two classical dynamical \(r\)-matrices via these transformations and rescaling for almost values of the dynamical variables. This gives rise to a complete (local) classification of all possible outcomes of gauge fixing in the context of the moduli space of flat \(\mathrm{ISO}(2, 1)\)-connections.
