Abstract:
We recall the fat-graph description of Riemann surfaces
$\Sigma _{g,s,n}$ and the corresponding Teichmüller spaces
$\mathfrak T_{g,s,n}$ with
$s>0$ holes and
$n>0$ bordered cusps in the hyperbolic geometry setting. If
$n>0$, we have a bijection between the set of Thurston shear coordinates and Penner's
$\lambda $-lengths. Then we can define, on the one hand, a Poisson bracket on
$\lambda $‑lengths that is induced by the Poisson bracket on shear coordinates introduced by V. V. Fock in 1997 and, on the other hand, a symplectic structure
$\Omega_\mathrm{WP}$ on the set of extended shear coordinates that is induced by Penner's symplectic structure on
$\lambda $-lengths. We derive the symplectic structure
$\Omega_\mathrm{WP}$, which turns out to be similar to Kontsevich's symplectic structure for
$\psi $-classes in complex analytic geometry, and demonstrate that it is indeed inverse to Fock's Poisson structure.
