Hurwitz Spaces and Braid Group Representations Partially Supported by the National Science Foundation
In this paper we investigate certain moduli spaces (\Hurwitz spaces") of branched covers of the Riemann sphere S 2 , and representations of nite index subgroups of the spherical braid group which arise from these Hurwitz spaces. (By spherical braid group, we mean the group of braids in the 2-sphere; we will refer to the more classical group of braids in the plane as the planar braid group.) Hur...
متن کاملThe Hurwitz Action and Braid Group Orderings
In connection with the so-called Hurwitz action of homeomorphisms in ramified covers we define a groupoid, which we call a ramification groupoid of the 2sphere, constructed as a certain path groupoid of the universal ramified cover of the 2-sphere with finitely many marked-points. Our approach to ramified covers is based on cosheaf spaces, which are closely related to Fox’s complete spreads. A ...
متن کاملThe small Heisenberg group and `-adic representations from Hurwitz spaces
The Hurwitz space approach to the regular Inverse Galois Problem was the only successful approach to Galois group realizations beyond nilpotent groups. It gave regular realizations of many series of groups. More significantly, the M(odular) T(ower) program identified obstructions to systematically finding regular realizations. Finding a way around those obstructions generalize renown results on...

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...
