Hodge Theory of the Turaev Cobracket and the Kashiwara--Vergne Problem
Abstract
In this paper we show that, after completing in the $I$-adic topology, the
Turaev cobracket on the vector space freely generated by the closed geodesics
on a smooth, complex algebraic curve $X$ with an algebraic framing is a
morphism of mixed Hodge structure. We combine this with results of a previous
paper (arXiv:1710.06053) on the Goldman bracket to construct torsors of
solutions of the Kashiwara--Vergne problem in all genera. The solutions so
constructed form a torsor under a prounipotent group that depends only on the
topology of the framed surface. We give a partial presentation of these groups.
Along the way, we give a homological description of the Turaev cobracket.

I am a topologist whose main interests include the study of the topology of complex
algebraic varieties (i.e. spaces that are the set of common zeros of a finite number
of complex polynomials). What fascinates me is the interaction between the topology,
geometry and arithmetic of varieties defined over subfields of the complex numbers,
particularly those defined over number fields. My main tools include differential
forms, Hodge theory and Galois theory, in addition to the more traditional to
