Abstract: Let P(S) be the space of convex projective structures on a surface S with negative Euler characteristic. Goldman and Bonahon-Dreyer constructed two different sets of global coordinates for P(S), both associated to a pair of pants decomposition of the surface S. The article explicitly describes the coordinate change between these two parametrizations. Most of the arguments are concentrated in the case where S is a pair of pants, in which case the Bonahon-Dreyer coordinates are actually due to Fock-Goncharov.

Review text

The article under review describes the coordinate change between two different parametrizations, both associated to a pair of ``pants decomposition (Fig. 3), of the space of complex projective structures on a surface with negative Euler characteristic, where the first of these parametrizations is due to \textit{W. M. Goldman} [J. Differ. Geom. 31, No. 3, 791--845 (1990; Zbl 0711.53033)] and the second to \textit{V. V. Fock} and \textit{A. B. Goncharov} [Adv. Math. 208, No. 1, 249--273 (2007; Zbl 1111.32013)]. The authors prove, for a pair-of-pants decomposition of the surface, how to compute the Goldman's coordinates from its Folk-Goncharov's coordinates (Propositions 3.1 and 3.2), and after that the authors express the Fock-Goncharov's coordinates in terms of the Goldman's coordinates (Proposition 4.1). They finish this paper proving (Proposition 5.2) that the Goldman parameters are related to the Bonahon-Dreyer invariants [\textit{F. Bonahon} and \textit{G. Dreyer}, Duke Math. J. 163, No. 15, 2935--2975 (2014; Zbl 1326.32023)].
