On homotopy aspects and cablings of virtual pure braid groups

Algebraic Topology 2018-08-30 v1

Abstract

By exploring simplicial structure of pure virtual braid groups, we give new connections between the homotopy groups of the 3-sphere and the virtual braid groups that are related to the theory of Brunnian virtual braids. The group structure of VP_n with n > 4 is determined by VP_3, VP_4 and virtual cablings given by iterated degeneracy operations on the generators and defining relations. The complete proofs will be published in the two forthcoming papers.
