Abstract: Drinfeld defined his KZ associator by considering the regularized
holonomy of KZ equation along the real interval from 0 to 1 and proved that it
satisfies the Pentagon equation. We consider general curves possibly with self
intersections and study the equations it satisfied. As an application of this
equation, we discuss how to calculate Konstant-Kirilov-Souriou poisson bracket
of functions induced by the holonomies of paths on representation space, and
the associated graded Goldman bracket, Turaev cobracket of holonomies of loops.
The talk is based on arXiv:2402.19138 and a work in progress with Anton
Alekseev and Florian Naef.
