Partitions of cyclic words and Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra

Abstract: The free $\mathbb{Z}$-module generated from the set of non-trivial homotopy classes of closed curves on an oriented surface has the structure of Lie bialgebra by two operations, the Goldman bracket and Turaev cobracket. M. Chas gave a combinatorial redefinition of these two operations through a natural identification of the homotopy classes of closed curves on the surface with the cyclic words in the generators and their inverses of the fundamental group of the surface. We present a new approach to give a combinatorial definition of the bracket and cobracket, focusing on the information given by the partitions of cyclic words.
