The Goldman Lie Algebra (GLA) is a Lie algebra which describes the behavior of curves and their intersections and resolutions on surfaces. It carries information about geometric structures with which the surface may be endowed and appears as a classical mechanistic counterpart to the quantum nature of knots in 3-dimensional space. In this thesis, we discover new properties of the GLA and its related knot structure and consequently construct a new variant of the GLA.
