Abstract: We quantise a Poisson structure on H^{n+2g}, where H is a semidirect product group of the form $Gltimesmathfrak{g}^{\ast }$. This Poisson structure arises in the combinatorial description of the phase space of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $Gltimesmathfrak{g}^{\ast }$ on $Rimes{S}_{g,n}$, where S_{g,n} is a surface of genus g with n punctures. The quantisation of this Poisson structure is a key step in the quantisation of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $Gltimesmathfrak{g}^{\ast }$. We construct the quantum algebra and its irreducible representations and show that the quantum double D(G) of the group G arises naturally as a symmetry of the quantum algebra.

Review text

Considering a finite-dimensional, simply connected unimodular group \(G\), its Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\), and their semidirect product \(H=G\rtimes \mathfrak{g}\), the authors quantise a Poisson structure on \(H^{n+2g}\), which arises in the combinatorial description of the phase space of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group \(H\) on \(\mathbb{R}\times S_{g,n}\), where \(S_{g,n}\) is a surface of genus \(g\) with \(n\) punctures. The quantisation of this Poisson structure is a key step in the quantisation of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group \(H\). The quantum algebra and its irreducible representations are constructed, and it is shown that the quantum double \(D(G)\) of the group \(G\) arises naturally as a symmetry of the quantum algebra.
