Faithfulness of the Lawrence representation of braid groups

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The Lawrence representation Ln,mL_{n,m} is a family of homological representation of the braid group BnB_n, which specializes to the reduced Burau and the Lawrence-Krammer representation when mm is 1 and 2. In this article we show that the Lawrence representation is faithful for m2m \geq 2.
