Biquantization of the necklace Lie bialgebra

Abstract

For the double of a quiver, the works of Ginzburg, Bocklandt-Le Bruyn and Schedler show that its closed paths, called the necklaces, have a natural Lie bialgebra structure. Schedler also constructed,in [Int. Math. Res. Notices, 2005 (12), 725-760], a Hopf algebra that quantizes this Lie bialgebra. In this paper, we pursue one more step in this direction by constructing its biquantization, in the sense of Turaev [Ann. Sci. \'Ecole Norm. Sup. (4) 24 (1991), no. 6, 635-704].
