Course description and aims
This lecture is about a certain (infinite-dimensional) Lie algebra, called the Goldman Lie algebra, which is associated with an oriented surface. This Lie algebra is defined in terms of intersections of curves in the surface, and thus one can think of it as an object in low-dimensional topology. Actually, behind its definition there is a geometrical context related to the moduli space of flat bundles over the surface. In this lecture, I will first explain the definition of the Goldman Lie algebra, and then discuss the following two topics: (1) the description of Dehn twists in terms of the Goldman Lie algebra, and (2) the formality of the Goldman bracket (and the Turaev cobracket).
The aim of this lecture is to explain that the intersections of curves on an oriented surface give rise to interesting algebraic structures, which are useful to the study of self-diffeomorphisms and the mapping class group of the surface.
