Geometric Generators for Braid-like Groups
We study the problem of finding generators for the fundamental group G of a space of the following sort: one removes a family of complex hyperplanes from Cn, or complex hyperbolic space CHn, or the Hermitian symmetric space for O(2, n), and then takes the quotient by a discrete group PΓ. The classical example is the braid group, but there are many similar “braid-like” groups that arise in topol...
متن کاملGenerators for a Complex Hyperbolic Braid Group
We give generators for a certain complex hyperbolic braid group. That is, we remove a hyperplane arrangement from complex hyperbolic 13space, take the quotient of the remaining space by a discrete group, and find generators for the orbifold fundamental group of the quotient. These generators have the most natural form: loops corresponding to the hyperplanes which come nearest the basepoint. Our...
متن کاملGroup Signature Schemes Using Braid Groups
Artin’s braid groups have been recently suggested as a new source for public-key cryptography. In this paper we propose the first group signature schemes based on the conjugacy problem, decomposition problem and root problem in the braid groups which are believed to be hard problems.
متن کاملRandom Subgroups of Braid Groups: An Approach to Cryptanalysis of a Braid Group Based Cryptographic Protocol
Motivated by cryptographic applications, we study subgroups of braid groups Bn generated by a small number of random elements of relatively small lengths compared to n. Our experiments show that “most” of these subgroups are equal to the whole Bn, and “almost all” of these subgroups are generated by positive braid words. We discuss the impact of these experimental results on the security of the...
متن کاملThe Chen Groups of the Pure Braid Group
A b st r ac t . The Chen groups of a group are the lower central series quotients of its maximal metabelian quotient. We show that the Chen groups of the pure braid group Pn are free abelian, and we compute their ranks. The computation of these Chen groups reduces to the computation of the Hilbert series of a certain graded module over a polynomial ring, and the latter is carried out by means o...
