Double brackets have been introduced by Michel Van den Bergh in 2004 in the preprint Double Poisson algebras. This page records all* their appearances in different areas of mathematics. I chose to sort references according to 4 topics:

  1. Study of double brackets
  2. Algebra
  3. Geometry and Topology
  4. Integrable Systems and Mathematical Physics

I began the minor project of gathering all uses of double brackets during my PhD, and I wrote a few pages about this in my thesis. Hence, this idea is continued thanks to this webpage, and I hope that it will be helpful to other researchers.


A double bracket is a bilinear map $\{\!\{-,- \}\!\}:A \times A \to A \otimes A$ such that

(i) $\{\!\{a,b \}\!\}=-\{\!\{b,a\}\!\}^\circ\,,$  (ii) $\{\!\{a,bc \}\!\}=b \{\!\{a,c\}\!\}+\{\!\{a,b\}\!\}c\,.$

Final remarks

Note that I have only considered works that explicitly use double brackets. For example, I have not considered works that are related to the quasi-Poisson bracket on multiplicative quiver varieties if they do not use the underlying double quasi-Poisson bracket at the level of the quivers.

I have also omitted works that use the bi-symplectic geometry of Crawley-Boevey, Etingof and Ginzburg, or that use the notion of H_0-Poisson structure of Crawley-Boevey. These two types of structures can be related to double Poisson brackets (see Van den Bergh's seminal 2008 paper) and are interesting in their own right. However, I did not take the opportunity to study them in greater details so I am not in the best position to create lists for them as the one above.

I hope that these references will convince mathematicians that double brackets are useful in many different subjects, and that they deserve to be studied independently. Finally, let me state some interesting open questions regarding them :

  • What is the quantisation of a double Poisson bracket? (See [Odesskii, Rubtsov, Sokolov, 2013] based on a Mathoverflow question by D. Calaque.)
  • Can one understand the Poisson structure of wild character varieties from a double quasi-Poisson bracket? (See my works with Fernandez for basic cases)
  • Are there double brackets which are not (quasi-)Poisson but are useful in the theory of integrable systems? What about the (multiplicative) vertex case? (See [Casati, Wang, 2021] and my work with Valeri in that direction)
  • Can one build a quasi-Hamiltonian algebra which is not differential, i.e. for which the double quasi-Poisson bracket does not come from a (noncommutative) bivector? (This would make Theorem 2.15 in [Fairon, 2021] strictly stronger than Theorem 5.3.2 in Van den Bergh's original work)
  • What is the analogue of H0-Poisson structures in the (multiplicative) vertex case? (This is based on a question that I was asked by G. Powell. The Poisson vertex case was settled by Bozec, Moreau and myself; the multiplicative case is still open.)
  • What is the obstruction to the existence of double (multiplicative) Poisson vertex algebras as deformations of double Poisson algebras? (This is based on a question that I was asked by V. Rubtsov)

(If you have some open questions, do not hesitate to send them and I will list them here.)

 


* If you think that something is missing from the list, please get in touch! Note however that I only record papers that make an explicit use of double brackets.
