Goldman Bracket : Center, Geometric Intersection Number & Length Equivalent Curves

Goldman [Gol86] introduced a Lie algebra structure on the free vector space generated by the free homotopy classes of oriented closed curves in any orientable surface F . This Lie bracket is known as the Goldman bracket and the Lie algebra is known as the Goldman Lie algebra. In this dissertation, w...
