Orbits of Braid Groups on Cacti
One of the consequences of the classification of finite simple groups is the fact that non-rigid polynomials (those with more than two finite critical values), considered as branched coverings of the sphere, have exactly three exceptional monodromy groups (one in degree 7, one in degree 13 and one in degree 15). By exceptional here we mean primitive and not equal to Sn or An, where n is the deg...
متن کاملOn Representations of Braid Groups
To understand what a braid group is, it is easiest to visualize a braid. Consider n strands, all parallel. Consider taking the ith strand and crossing it over the very next strand. This is a braid. In fact, a braid is any sequence of crossings of the bands, provided none of the bands are self-crossing. For instance, a loop, or a band which forms a loop in the middle are not braids. Now, in orde...
متن کاملOn braid groups and homotopy groups
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of certain connections between the braid groups [1, 3] and classical homotopy groups which arises in joint work of Jon Berrick, Yan-Loi Wong and the authors [8, 2, 32]. These connections emerge through several other natural contexts such as Lie algebras attached to the descending central series of pure braid groups arising as Vassiliev invari...
متن کاملQuestions on Surface Braid Groups
We provide new group presentations for surface braid groups which are positive. We study some properties of such presentations and we solve the conjugacy problem in a particular case.
متن کاملRepresentations of braid groups
In this paper we survey some work on representations of Bn given by the induced action on a homology module of some space. One of these, called the Lawrence-Krammer representation, recently came to prominence when it was shown to be faithful for all n. We will outline the methods used, applying them to a closely related representation for which the proof is slightly easier. The main tool is the...
