We consider finite-sheeted, regular, possibly branched covering spaces of compact surfaces with boundary and the associated liftable and symmetric mapping class groups. In particular, we classify when either of these subgroups coincides…

Let $G$ be a Garside group with Garside element $\Delta$, and let $\Delta^m$ be the minimal positive central power of $\Delta$. An element $g\in G$ is said to be 'periodic' if some power of it is a power of $\Delta$. In this paper, we study…

We determine the image of the braid groups inside the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A, when defined over a finite field, in the semisimple case, and for suitably large (but controlable) order of the defining (quantum) parameter.

We show that each of the Artin groups of type $B_n$ and $D_n$ can be presented as a semidirect product $F \rtimes {\cal B}_n$, where $F$ is a free group and ${\cal B}_n$ is the $n$-string braid group. We explain how these semidirect product…

One of the most interesting questions about a group is if its word problem can be solved and how. The word problem in the braid group is of particular interest to topologists, algebraists and geometers, and is the target of intensive…

Let $n \geq 3$. In this paper, we study the problem of whether a given finite group $G$ embeds in a quotient of the form $B_n/\Gamma_k(P_n)$, where $B_n$ is the $n$-string Artin braid group, $k \in \{2, 3\}$, and $\{\Gamma_l(P_n)\}_{l\in…

For a perfectoid ring $R$ and a natural number $n$ we investigate the essential image of the category of truncated by $n$ Barsotti-Tate groups under the anti-equivalence between commutative, finite, locally free, $R$-group schemes of…

We define and study extensions of Artin's representation and braid monodromy representation to the case of topological and algebraical generalisations of braid groups. In particular we provide faithful representations of braid groups of…

We show that the fundamental groups of any two closed irreducible non-geometric graph-manifolds are quasi-isometric. This answers a question of Kapovich and Leeb. We also classify the quasi-isometry types of fundamental groups of…

In this article we show how Gr\"un's results in group theory can be used for studying the structure of class groups in normal extensions.

The aim of the present note is to enhance groups $G_{n}^{3}$ and to construct new invariants of classical braids. In particular, we construct invariants valued in $G_{N}^{2}$ groups. In groups $G_{n}^{2}$, the identity problem is solved,…

The aim of this article is to advance the knowledge on the theory of skew left braces. We introduce a subclass of skew left braces, which we denote by $\mathcal{I}_n$, $n \ge 1$, such that elements of the annihilator and lower central…

We classify homomorphisms from the braid group on $n$ strands to the pure mapping class group of a nonoriantable surface of genus $g$. For $n\ge 14$ and $g\le 2\lfloor{n/2}\rfloor+1$ every such homomorphism is either cyclic, or it maps…

We prove several results on the model theory of Artin groups, focusing on Artin groups which are ``far from right-angled Artin groups''. The first result is that if $\mathcal{C}$ is a class of Artin groups whose irreducible components are…

Boundary groupoids were introduced by the second author, which can be used to model many analysis problems on singular spaces. In order to investigate index theory on boundary groupoids, we introduce the notion of {\em a deformation from…

The space of unordered configurations of distinct points in the plane is aspherical, with Artin's braid group as its fundamental group. Remarkably enough, the space of ordered configurations of distinct points on the real projective line,…

We give a systematic exposition of memory-length algorithms for solving equations in noncommutative groups. This exposition clarifies some points untouched in earlier expositions. We then focus on the main ingredient in these attacks:…

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph (or the prime graph) $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an…

Diagonal groups are one of the classes of finite primitive permutation groups occurring in the conclusion of the O'Nan-Scott theorem. Several of the other classes have been described as the automorphism groups of geometric or combinatorial…

Let $\C(\Gamma)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of the finite groups that are homomorphic images of $\Gamma$. We investigate the extent to which $\C(\Gamma)$ determines $\Gamma$ when $\Gamma$ is a group of geometric interest. If…
