Let be the fundamental group of a compact connected orientable topological surface with finitely many boundary circles. Our aim is to construct Poisson algebras of continuous functions on certain open subspaces of the space of representations of in a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is supposed to be endowed with a nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. When G is compact and connected, the spaces may be taken to be dense in the space of all representations. The spaces contain spaces of representations where the values of those generators of the fundamental group which correspond to the boundary circles are constrained to lie in fixed conjugacy classes and, the representation spaces being endowed with universal Poisson algebras constructed elsewhere earlier, the restrictions from the spaces to any of the spaces are Poisson maps. Thus the Poisson algebra on each gives a description of the variation of the universal Poisson structures on the spaces as the chosen conjugacy classes move across G. We also give twisted versions of these results.
