Abstract

This paper classifies complex local representations of the twisted virtual braid group, TVB2\mathrm{TVB}_2, into GL3(C)\mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{C}). It shows that such representations fall into eight types, all of which are unfaithful and reducible to degree 2×22 \times 2. Further reducibility to degree 1 is analyzed for specific types. The paper also examines complex homogeneous local representations of TVBn\mathrm{TVB}_n into GLn+1(C)\mathrm{GL}_{n+1}(\mathbb{C}) for n3n \geq 3, identifying seven unfaithful types. Additionally, complex local representations of the singular twisted virtual braid group, STVB2\mathrm{STVB}_2, into M3(C)M_3(\mathbb{C}) are classified into thirteen unfaithful types. Finally, the paper demonstrates that not all complex local extensions of TVB2\mathrm{TVB}_2 representations to STVB2\mathrm{STVB}_2 conform to a Φ\Phi-type extension.
