Abstract

Let be a compact connected oriented 2-dimensional manifold with non-empty boundary. In our previous work, we have shown that every solution of the higher genus Kashiwara–Vergne equations for an automorphism of a free Lie algebra induces an isomorphism between the Goldman–Turaev Lie bialgebra and its associated graded gr . In this paper, we prove the converse: if induces an isomorphism , then it satisfies the Kashiwara–Vergne equations up to conjugation. As an application of our results, we compute the degree one non-commutative Poisson cohomology of the Kirillov–Kostant–Souriau double bracket. The main technical tool used in the paper is a novel characterization of conjugacy classes in the free Lie algebra in terms of cyclic words.
