We investigate the Hurwitz action of the $m$-braid group on the $m$-fold Cartesian product of the universal dihedral quandle. We introduce three computable invariants and prove that they give a complete classification of the orbits under…

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

We prove that an Artin-Tits group of type $\tilde C$ is the group of fractions of a Garside monoid, analogous to the known dual monoids associated with Artin-Tits groups of spherical type and obtained by the "generated group" method. This…

A result of Allock [1](arXiv:math/9907194) states that certain orbifold braid groups contain Artin groups of type $D_n$, $\tilde{B}_n$ and $\tilde{D}_n$ as finite index subgroups. The underlying orbifolds have at most two cone points of…

Hurwitz orbits are the orbits of the braid group action on the powers of a rack. Hurwitz orbits for the action of the braid group on three strands are used in \cite{21} and \cite{22} for the classification of Nichols algebras. This…

After having established elementary results on the relationship between a finite complex (pseudo-)reflection group W < GL(V) and its reflection arrangement A, we prove that the action of W on A is canonically related with other natural…

We shed some light on the problem of determining the orbits of the braid group action on semiorthonormal bases of Mukai lattices as considered in \cite{GK04} and \cite{GO1}. We show that there is an algebraic (and in particular algorithmic)…

The orbits space of an irreducible linear representation of a finite group is a variety whose coordinate ring is the ring of invariant polynomials. Boris Dubrovin proved that the orbits space of the standard reflection representation of an…

We consider the Hurwitz action on quasipositive factorizations of a 3-braid. In a previous paper, for any given 3-braid we described a certain finite set which contains at least one representative of each orbit. Here we give an algorithm to…

The orbits space of an irreducible representation of a finite group is a variety whose coordinate ring is finitely generated by homogeneous invariant polynomials. Boris Dubrovin showed that the orbits spaces of the reflection groups acquire…

We provide a variety of cases in which two factorizations have Hurwitz orbits of the same size. We begin with prototypical results about factorizations of length two, and show that cycling elements or flipping and inverting elements in any…

We exhibit a new presentation of the (equilateral) Von Dyck groups $D(2,3,n), \ n\ge 3$, in terms of two generators of order $n$ satisfying three relations, one of which is Artin's braid relation. By dropping the relation which fixes the…

We prove that the quotient of the group algebra of the braid group on 5 strands by a generic cubic relation has finite rank. This was conjectured in 1998 by Brou\'e, Malle and Rouquier and has for consequence that this algebra is a flat…

We show that, for any number of components, the group of braids up to link-homotopy is torsion-free. This generalizes a result of Humphries up to six components, and provides an explicit solution to a question posed by Lin and addressed by…
