Abstract: Let G be a Lie group endowed with a bi-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. Then the moduli space of flat connections on a principal G-bundle, P o Sigma, over a compact oriented surface, Sigma, carries a Poisson structure. If we trivialize P over a finite number of points on the boundary of Sigma, then the moduli space carries a quasi-Poisson structure instead. Our first result is to describe this quasi-Poisson structure in terms of an intersection form on the fundamental groupoid of the surface, generalizing results of Massuyeau and Turaev. Our second result is to extend this framework to quilted surfaces, i.e. surfaces where the structure group varies from region to region and a reduction (or relation) of structure occurs along the borders of the regions, extending results of the second author. We describe the Poisson structure on the moduli space for a quilted surface in terms of an operation on spin networks, i.e. graphs immersed in the surface which are endowed with some additional data on their edges and vertices. This extends the results of various authors.

Review text

This paper describes and studies the quasi-Poisson structures corresponding to moduli spaces. Recently, \textit{G. Massuyeau} and \textit{V. Turaev} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2014, No. 1, 1--64 (2014; Zbl 1298.53085)] described quasi-Poisson structures in terms of an intersection form. In this work, the authors describe the moduli spaces from the Poisson point of view. First, they recall the basic definitions about the theory of quasi-Poisson manifolds. Then, they generalize the result of Massuyeau and Tuarev by introducing the intersection form on the fundamental groupoid. The result is also extended to quilted surfaces. The Poisson structure is described in terms of spin networks.
