Representations 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...
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 کاملIrreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...

متن کاملUniversal Representations of Braid and Braid-permutation Groups
Drinfel’d used associators to construct families of universal representations of braid groups. We consider semi-associators (i.e., we drop the pentagonal axiom and impose a normalization in degree one). We show that the process may be reversed, to obtain semi-associators from universal representations of 3–braids. We view braid groups as subgroups of braid-permutation groups. We construct a fam...
