Permutation representations of the braid group commutator subgroup

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We study the representations of the commutator subgroup of the braid group with n strands in the symmetric group of degree r. Motivated by some experimental results, we conjecture that for n>r, every such representation is trivial.
