Abstract: Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, G the simply-connected Poisson-Lie group corresponding to g, and G* its dual. G-valued Stokes phenomena were used by Boalch [Bo1,Bo2] to give a canonical, analytic linearisation of the Poisson structure on G*. Ug-valued Stokes phenomena were used by the first author to construct a twist killing the KZ associator, and therefore give a transcendental construction of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group U_hg (arXiv:1601.04076). In the present paper, we show that the former construction can be obtained as semiclassical limit of the latter. Along the way, we also show that the R-matrix of U_hg is a Stokes matrix for the dynamical KZ equations.


Given a KZ equation with \(n=3\) points \[ dF-h(\frac{\Omega_{1,2}}{z}+\frac{\Omega_{2,3}}{z-1})Fdz=0 \] using its holonomy from \(\pm i\infty\) to \(0\) one can define a twist of the coproduct and R-matrix in \(U(g)[[\bar{h}]]\), \(\bar{h}=2\pi i h\). And thus one obtains a quantum group \(U_{\bar{h}}(g)\). In the present paper the authors show that the semiclassical limit of this construction gives the Boalch's linearisation result in which a linearization of the Poisson structure on \(G^*\) was constructed.
