   Title: Holonomy of flat superconnections and Poisson geometry
   of moduli stack of local systems

Abstract. Length of the hyperbolic geodesic in a given free
homotopy class of closed curves defines a function on the Teichmüller
space. Poisson bracket of two such functions is intimately related to
the hyperbolic geometry of the surface. This line of thinking has been
extended to the study of the moduli of local systems in increasing
levels of generality. I will describe a generalization of this set up to
the context of infinity local systems.
