Cactus group is the fundamental group of the real locus of the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable rational curves. This group appears naturally as an analog of the braid group in coboundary monoidal categories. We define an action of…

The cactus group $J_n$ is the $S_n$-equivariant fundamental group of the real locus of the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable rational curves with marked points. This group plays the role of the braid group for the monoidal category of…

The crystals for a finite-dimensional complex reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ encode the structure of its representations, yet can also reveal surprising new structure of their own. We study the cactus group $C_{\mathfrak{g}}$,…

Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra and U_h(g) its quantised enveloping algebra. Answering a question of P. Etingof, we prove that the quantum Weyl group operators of U_h(g) give rise to a canonical action of the pure braid group of…

We construct categorical braid group actions from 2-representations of a Heisenberg algebra. These actions are induced by certain complexes which generalize spherical (Seidel-Thomas) twists and are reminiscent of the Rickard complexes…

In the paper, we prove that there exists a braid group action on the extended crystal $\widehat{B}(\infty)$ of finite type. The extended crystal $\widehat{B}(\infty)$ and its braid group action are investigated from the viewpoint of crystal…
