We give a complete classification of homomorphisms from the braid group on $n$ strands to the braid group on $2n$ strands when $n$ is at least 5. We also classify endomorphisms of the braid group on 4 strands, as well as homomorphisms from…

In this paper, we define and study weak monoidal Hom-Hopf algebras, which generalize both weak Hopf algebras and monoidal Hom-Hopf algebras. If $H$ is a weak monoidal Hom-Hopf algebra with bijective antipode and let $Aut_{wmHH}(H)$ be the…

In this note we show that any homomorphism from a pure surface braid group to a torsion-free hyperbolic group either has a cyclic image or factors through a forgetful map. This extends and gives a new proof of an earlier result of the…

The twin group $T_n$ is a right angled Coxeter group generated by $n- 1$ involutions and having only far commutativity relations. These groups can be thought of as planar analogues of Artin braid groups. In this note, we study some…

We give a bijection between the tilting complexes in the bounded homotopy category of the Auslander algebra of the truncated polynomial ring and ZxB where B is the Artin braid goup of type A with n-1 generators. The tilting complexes have…

In this paper we define a way to get a bounded invertible automaton starting from a finite graph. It turns out that the corresponding automaton group is regular weakly branch over its commutator subgroup, contains a free semigroup on two…

We show that there is no uniform upper bound on |Out(Aut(A))| when A ranges over all right-angled Artin groups. This is in contrast with the cases where A is free or free abelian: for all n, Dyer-Formanek and Bridson-Vogtmann showed that…

Here we consider two algebras, a free unital associative complex algebra (denoted by ${\mathcal{B}}$) equiped with a multiparametric \textbf{\emph{q}}-differential structure and a twisted group algebra (denoted by ${\mathcal{A}(S_{n})}$),…

The space of monic squarefree complex polynomials has a stratification according to the multiplicities of the critical points. We introduce a method to study these strata by way of the infinite-area translation surface associated to the…

We give some applications of a Hopf algebra constructed from a group acting on another Hopf algebra A as Hopf automorphisms, namely Molnar's smash coproduct Hopf algebra. We find connections between the exponent and Frobenius-Schur…

In this article we construct a piecewise Euclidean, non-positively curved 2-complex for the 3-generator Artin groups of large type. As a consequence we show that these groups are biautomatic. A slight modification of the proof shows that…

We examine the Moore complex of the Delta-group structure related to the pure braid groups and introduced by Berrick, Cohen, Wong, and Wu. We prove that the cycle and the boundary groups are invariant under all automorphisms of the pure…

We prove that every right-angled Artin group occurs as a finite-index subgroup of the outer automorphism group of another right-angled Artin group. We furthermore show that the latter group can be chosen in such a way that the quotient is…

An integral framed, closed pure n-braid B' in the 3-sphere describes a positive Artin presentation, if the braid B can be put on a disk with holes such that each relation describes a positive path and these paths are disjoint. In the…

We examine the palindromic automorphism group $\Pi A(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$, a group first defined by Collins which is related to hyperelliptic involutions of mapping class groups, congruence subgroups of $SL_n(\Z)$, and symmetric…

We compute the cohomology groups of the automorphism group of the free group $F_n$, with coefficients in arbitrary tensor products of the standard representation $H_1(F_n, \mathbb{Q})$ and its dual, in a range where $n$ is sufficiently…

The orbifold braid groups of two dimensional orbifolds were defined in [1] (arXiv:math/9907194) to understand certain Artin groups as subgroups of some suitable orbifold braid groups. We studied orbifold braid groups in some more detail in…

Consider the unit ball, B = D x [0,1], containing n unknotted arcs a_1, ... a_n such that the boundary of each a_i lies in D x {0}. We give a finite presentation for the mapping class group of B fixing the arcs {a_1, ..., a_n} setwise and…

In this paper we construct a homomorphism of the affine braid group $Br_n^{aff}$ in the convolution algebra of the equivariant matrix factorizations on the space $\overline{\mathcal{X}}_2=\mathfrak{b}_n\times GL_n\times\mathfrak{n}_n$…

We define an integer-valued invariant of special cube complexes called the genus, and prove that having genus one characterizes special cube complexes with abelian fundamental group. Using the genus, we obtain a new proof that the…
