You start off writing down the Poisson brackets for the obvious functions on the group from matrix coefficients, but those aren't quite the best to work with. Think canonical commutation relations vs some other function on phase space. For reference, see "Cluster Algebras and Poisson Geometry" | |

Is the procedure unique in general? There seems to be a consensus about the definition of a quantum matrix in my question (1). But I still can't see what motivates the slightly odd form for the relations. Is that obvious from the quantisation somehow? | |
