Further Information

We study the space of measured laminations ML on a closed surface from the valuative point of view. We introduce and study a notion of Newton polytope for an algebraic function on the character variety. We prove for instance that trace functions have unit coefficients at the extremal points of their Newton polytope. Then we provide a definition of tangent space at a valuation and show how the Goldman Poisson bracket on the character variety induces a symplectic structure on this valuative model for ML. Finally we identify this symplectic space with previous constructions due to Thurston and Bonahon.
