TL;DR
The paper analyzes the geometric leaf of the symplectic groupoid of unipotent upper-triangular matrices by applying a rank condition to the image of the Fock–Chekhov-type Poisson map from Teichmüller spaces. It develops log-canonical coordinates on the Bondal Poisson bracket via Fock–Goncharov parameters, and constructs a Hamiltonian reduction for $n=5$ and $n=6$ that inherits cluster structure. The reductions recover the classical cluster algebras associated with Teichmüller spaces $\mathcal{T}_{2,1}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{2,2}$, with seeds labeled by ideal triangulations of hyperbolic surfaces of genus $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ and $par(n)$ holes. The work combines transport-matrix representations, skein relations for geodesic functions, and mutation sequences to relate the geometric locus to Teichmüller-type cluster algebras, while also highlighting Weyl-group–type actions on Casimirs in the higher-$n$ cases.
Abstract
We consider the symplectic groupoid of pairs $(B, A)$ with $A$ real unipotent upper-triangular matrix and $B\in GL_n$ being such that $\tilde A=BAB^T$ is also a unipotent upper-triangular matrix. Fock and Chekhov defined a Poisson map of Teichmüller space ${\mathcal T_{g,s}$ of genus $g$ surfaces with $s$ holes into the space of unipotent upper-triangular $n\times n$ matrices whose image forms the \emph{geometric locus}. The elements of geometric locus satisfy \emph{rank condition}. We describe the Hamiltonian reduction of the Poisson cluster variety of symplectic groupoid by the rank condition for $n=5$ and $6$. In both cases, we analyze the induced cluster structures on the results of Hamiltonian reduction and recover celebrated cluster structure on ${\mathcal T}_{2,1}$ for $n=5$ and ${\mathcal T}_{2,2}$ for $n=6$.
