Brunnian braids have interesting relations with homotopy groups of spheres. In this work, we study the graded Lie algebra of the descending central series related to Brunnian subgroup of the pure braid group. A presentation of this Lie…

We study congruences on the partial automorphism monoid of a finite rank free group action. We give a decomposition of a congruence on this monoid into a Rees congruence, a congruence on a Brandt semigroup and an idempotent separating…

The structure of the coincidence symmetry group of an arbitrary $n$-dimensional lattice in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered by describing a set of generators. Particular attention is given to the coincidence isometry…

We investigate the rational cohomology of the quotient of (generalized) braid groups by the commutator subgroup of the pure braid groups. We provide a combinatorial description of it using isomorphism classes of certain families of graphs.…

We give a geometric description of a certain class of epimorphisms between complex reflection groups. We classify these epimorphisms, which can be interpreted as ``morphisms'' between the diagrams symbolizing standard presentations by…

We introduce a relation of cobordism for knots in thickened surfaces and study cobordism invariants of such knots.

In this paper, we study gyro-groups associated to groups, group extensions admitting gyro-sections, and corresponding co-homologies. We also describe the obstructions in terms of co-homomology. The notion of gyro-Schur Multiplier and that…

This paper is devoted to the proof of a structural theorem, concerning certain homomorphic images of Artin braid group on $n$ strands in finite symmetric groups. It is shown that any one of these permutation groups is an extension of the…

This is a rather personal introductory outline of an interesting class of geometric, resp. graph- and group-theoretical structures. After an introductive section about their genesis, the general construction of horocyclic products is…

In this paper we give new presentations of the braid groups and the pure braid groups of a closed surface. We also give an algorithm to solve the word problem in these groups, using the given presentations.

Let $n\ge 2$. Let $VB_n$ (resp. $VP_n$) be the virtual braid group (resp. the pure virtual braid group), and let $VT_n$ (resp. $PVT_n$) be the virtual twin group (resp. the pure virtual twin group). Let $\Pi$ be one of the following…

We give presentations of braid groups and pure braid groups on surfaces.

In this paper we study prime, maximal and two--class congruences from the point of view of the relationships between them in various kinds of universal algebras, as well as their direct and inverse images through morphisms. This research…

We survey and analyze different ways in which bornologies, coarse structures and uniformities on a group agree with the group operations.

We prove that generic elements of braid groups are pseudo-Anosov, in the following sense: in the Cayley graph of the braid group with n $\ge$ 3 strands, with respect to Garside's generating set, we prove that the proportion of pseudo-Anosov…

We provide new group presentations for surface braid groups which are positive. We study some properties of such presentations and we solve the conjugacy problem in a particular case.

The main purpose of this article is to give the integral cohomology of classical principal congruence subgroups in SL(2,Z) as well as their analogues in the third braid group with local coefficients in symmetric powers of the natural…

We define an algebraic group comprising symmetric chain complexes which captures the first two stages of the Cochran-Orr-Teichner solvable filtration of the knot concordance group in a single obstruction. To achieve this we impose…

We argue that various braid group actions on triangulated categories should be extended to projective actions of the category of braid cobordisms and illustrate how this works in examples. We also construct actions of both the affine braid…

We study some quadratic algebras which are appeared in the low-dimensional topology and Schubert calculus. We introduce the Jucys-Murphy elements in the braid algebra and in the pure braid group, as well as the Dunkl elements in the…
