Abstract: In earlier work we have shown that the moduli space $N$ of flat connections for the (trivial) $omanSU(2)$-bundle on a closed surface of genus $ellgeq2$ inherits a structure of stratified symplectic space with two connected strata $N_Z$ and $N_{(T)}$ and $2^{2ell}$ isolated points. In this paper we show that, close to each point of $N_{(T)}$, the space $N$ and its Poisson algebra look like a product of $$ endowed with the standard symplectic Poisson structure with the reduced space and Poisson algebra of the system of $(ell-1)$ particles in the plane with total angular momentum zero, while close to one of the isolated points, the Poisson algebra on $N$ looks like that of the reduced system of $ell$ particles in $$ 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 and the various underlying symplectic structures on the strata and their mutual positions explicitly in terms of the Poisson structure.

Review text

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.
