The classification of Wada-type representations of braid groups

Quantum Algebra 2015-01-30 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We give a classification of Wada-type representations of the braid groups, and solutions of a variant of the set-theoretical Yang-Baxter equation adapted to the free-product group structure. As a consequence, we prove Wada's conjecture: There are only seven types of Wada-type representations up to certain symmetries.
