Classical dynamical $r$-matrices for the Chern-Simons formulation of generalised 3d gravity (2403.02184v1)

Abstract: Classical dynamical $r$-matrices arise naturally in the combinatorial description of the phase space of Chern-Simons theories, either through the inclusion of dynamical sources or through a gauge-fixing procedure involving two punctures. Here we consider classical dynamical $r$-matrices for the family of Lie algebras which arise in the Chern-Simons formulation of 3d gravity, for any value of the cosmological constant. We derive differential equations for classical dynamical $r$-matrices in this case, and show that they can be viewed as generalised complexifications, in a sense which we define, of the equations governing dynamical $r$-matrices for $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. We obtain explicit families of solutions and relate them, via Weierstrass factorisation, to solutions found by Feher, Gabor, Marshall, Palla and Pusztai in the context of chiral WZWN models.
