New Permutation Representations of The Braid Group
We give a new infinite family of group homomorphisms from the braid group Bk to the symmetric group Smk for all k and m ≥ 2. Most known permutation representations of braids are included in this family. We prove that the homomorphisms in this family are non-cyclic and transitive. For any divisor l of m, 1 ≤ l < m, we prove in particular that if m l is odd then there are 1+ m l non-conjugate hom...
متن کاملLocalization of Unitary Braid Group Representations
Governed by locality, we explore a connection between unitary braid group representations associated to a unitary R-matrix and to a simple object in a unitary braided fusion category. Unitary R-matrices, namely unitary solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation, afford explicitly local unitary representations of braid groups. Inspired by topological quantum computation, we study whether or not it is...
متن کاملBraid Group Representations from Twisted Quantum Doubles of Finite Groups
We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite groups, in contrast to the categories associated with quantum groups at roots of unity. We also show that in the case of p-groups, the corresponding pure br...
متن کاملThe Interplay between Linear Representations of the Braid Group
We considerWada’s representation as a twisted version of the standard action of the braid group, Bn, on the free group with n generators. Constructing a free group, Gnm, of rank nm, we compose Cohen’s map Bn → Bnm and the embedding Bnm → Aut(Gnm) via Wada’s map. We prove that the composition factors of the obtained representation are one copy of Burau representation and m− 1 copies of the stand...
متن کاملMajorana Fermions and Representations of the Braid Group
In this paper we study unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana Fermions. Majorana Fermions are represented by Majorana operators, elements of a Clifford algebra. The paper recalls and proves a general result about braid group representations associated with Clifford algebras, and compares this result with the Ivanov braiding associated with Majorana operators. The paper gen...
