Let F_n denote the free group generated by n letters. The purpose of this article is to show that Hol(F_2), the holomorph of the free group on two generators, is linear. Consequently, any split group extension of F_2 by a linear group H is…

We note a characterization of the amenability of unitary representations (in the sense of Bekka) via the existence of an orthonormal basis supporting an invariant probability charge. Based on this, we explore several natural notions of…

We quantize the bending deformations of n-gon linkages by linearizing the bending fields at a degenerate n-gon to get a representation of the Malcev Lie algebra of the pure braid group. This linearization yields a flat connection on the…

Helton and Vinnikov showed that every rigidly convex curve in the real plane bounds a spectrahedron. This leads to the computational problem of explicitly producing a symmetric (positive definite) linear determinantal representation for a…

We give an exposition of the work of Bigelow and Krammer who proved that the Artin braid groups are linear.

The recently introduced problem of extending partial interval representations asks, for an interval graph with some intervals pre-drawn by the input, whether the partial representation can be extended to a representation of the entire…

In this paper we describe the structure of a group of conjugating automorphisms $C_n$ of free group and prove that this structure is similar to the structure of a braid group $B_n$ with $n>1$ strings. We find the linear representation of…

In a previous work [11], the author considered a representation of the braid group \rho: B_n\to GL_m(\Bbb Z[q^{\pm 1},t^{\pm 1}]) (m=n(n-1)/2), and proved it to be faithful for n=4. Bigelow [3] then proved the same representation to be…

We provide an explicit construction that allows one to easily decompose a graph braid group as a graph of groups. This allows us to compute the braid groups of a wide range of graphs, as well as providing two general criteria for a graph…

We study the combinatorics of pseudoline arrangements in the real projective plane. Our focus lies on two classes of arrangements: simplicial arrangements and arrangements whose characteristic polynomials have only real roots. We derive…

In this paper we present reducible representation of the $n^{2}$ braid group representation which is constructed on the tensor product of n-dimensional spaces. By some combining methods we can construct more arbitrary $n^{2}$ dimensional…

We conjecture an integrability and linearizability test for dispersive Z^2-lattice equations by using a discrete multiscale analysis. The lowest order secularity conditions from the multiscale expansion give a partial differential equation…

We give a characterisation of fragmentable, compact linearly order spaces. In particular, we show that if $K$ is a compact, fragmentable, linearly ordered space then $K$ is a Radon-Nikod\'{y}m compact. In addition, we obtain some…

Embedding methods for product spaces are powerful techniques for low-distortion and low-dimensional representation of complex data structures. Here, we address the new problem of linear classification in product space forms -- products of…

It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…

For an arrangement of $n$ pseudolines in the real projective plane let us denote by $t_i$ the number of vertices incident to $i$ lines. We obtain a linear on $t_i$ inequality similar to the Hirzebruch one, but with an elementary proof. We…

In this paper, we develop a representation-theoretic formulation of discrete-time linear systems. We show that such systems are naturally viewed as representations of time groups acting on vector spaces, thereby endowing the state space…

We demonstrate the main idea of constructing irreducible unitary representations of Lie groups by using Fedosov deformation quantization in the concrete case of the group Aff(R) of affine transformations of the real straight line. By an…

A discrete group which admits a faithful, finite dimensional, linear representation over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero is called linear. This note combines the natural structure of semi-direct products with work of A. Lubotzky…

In this note, we adapt the procedure of the Long-Moody procedure to construct linear representations of welded braid groups. We exhibit the natural setting in this context and compute the first examples of representations we obtain thanks…
