On Symmetric Commutator Subgroups, Braids, Links and Homotopy Groups

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate some applications of commutator subgroups to homotopy groups and geometric groups. In particular, we show that the intersection subgroups of some canonical subgroups in certain link groups modulo their symmetric commutator subgroups are isomorphic to the (higher) homotopy groups. This gives a connection between links and homotopy groups. Similar results hold for braid and surface groups.

Artin Braid Groups and Homotopy Groups
We study the Brunnian subgroups and the boundary Brunnian subgroups of the Artin braid groups. The general higher homotopy groups of the sphere are given by mirror symmetric elements in the quotient groups of the Artin braid groups modulo the boundary Brunnian braids, as well as given as a summand of the center of the quotient groups of Artin pure braid groups modulo boundary Brunnian braids. T...
متن کاملOn Brunnian-type Links and the Link Invariants given by Homotopy Groups of Spheres
We introduce the (general) homotopy groups of spheres as link invariants for Brunnian-type links through the investigations on the intersection subgroup of the normal closures of the meridians of strongly nonsplittable links. The homotopy groups measure the difference between the intersection subgroup and symmetric commutator subgroup of the normal closures of the meridians and give the invaria...
متن کاملOn Braid Groups, Free Groups, and the Loop Space of the 2-sphere
The purpose of this article is to describe a connection between the single loop space of the 2-sphere, Artin’s braid groups, a choice of simplicial group whose homotopy groups are given by modules called Lie(n), as well as work of Milnor [17, 18], and Habegger-Lin [11, 15] on “homotopy string links”. The novelty of the current article is a description of connections between these topics. 1. A t...

متن کاملConfigurations, Braids, and Homotopy Groups
The main results of this article are certain connections between braid groups and the homotopy groups of the 2-sphere. The connections are given in terms of Brunnian braids over the disk and over the 2-sphere. The techniques arise from the natural structure of simplicial and ∆-structures on fundamental groups of configuration spaces.
