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…

We show that the Lawrence--Krammer representation can be obtained as the quantization of the symmetric square of the Burau representation. This connection allows us to construct new representations of braid groups

We unify and generalize several approaches to constructing braid group representations from finite groups, using iterated twisted tensor products. Our results hint at a relationship between the braidings on the $G$-gaugings of a pointed…

This paper is the first part of a series of papers aimed at improving the classification by Formanek of the irreducible representations of Artin braid groups of small dimension. In this paper we classify all the irreducible complex…

We define a family of representations $\{\rho_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ of a pure braid group $P_{2k}$. These representations are obtained from an action of $P_{2k}$ on a certain type of $A_2$ web space with color $n$. The $A_2$ web space is a…

The braid group $B_4$ naturally acts on the rational projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{Q})$, this action corresponds to the classical integral reduced Burau representation of $B_4$. The first result of this paper is a classification of…

We demonstrate that the two inequivalent spinor representations of the braid group \B_{2n+2}, describing the exchanges of 2n+2 non-Abelian Ising anyons in the Pfaffian topological quantum computer, are equivalent from computational point of…

According to Letourmy and Vendramin, a representation of a skew brace is a pair of representations on the same vector space, one for the additive group and the other for the multiplicative group, that satisfies a certain compatibility…

For an integer $n \geq 2$, set $B_n$ to be the braid group on $n$ strands and $SB_n$ to be the singular braid group on $n$ strands. $SB_n$ is one of the important group extensions of $B_n$ that appeared in 1998. Our aim in this paper is to…

Artin's braid group $B_n$ is generated by $\sigma_1, \dots, \sigma_{n-1}$ subject to the relations \[ \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1} \sigma_i = \sigma_{i+1} \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1}, \quad \sigma_i\sigma_j = \sigma_j \sigma_i \text{ if } |i-j|>1. \]…

We use the notion of Bridgeland stability condition and its associated metric to endow triangulated categories with extriangulated structures and study their extriangulated Grothendieck groups. This study is motivated by Khovanov-Seidel's…

This article is dedicate to cabling on virtual braids. This construction gives a new generating set for the virtual pure braid group $VP_n$. Consequently we describe $VP_4$ as HNN-extension. As an application to classical braids, we find a…

We study representations of the loop braid group $LB_n$ from the perspective of extending representations of the braid group $B_n$. We also pursue a generalization of the braid/Hecke/Temperlely-Lieb paradigm---uniform finite dimensional…

We show that a certain linear representation of the singular braid monoid on three strands is faithful. Furthermore we will give a second - group theoretically motivated - solution to the word problem in this monoid.

We discuss techniques for analysing the structure of the group obtained by reducing the image of the Burau representation of the braid group modulo a prime. The main tools are a certain sesquilinear form first introduced by Squier and…

Braid groups are an important and flexible tool used in several areas of science, such as Knot Theory (Alexander's theorem), Mathematical Physics (Yang-Baxter's equation) and Algebraic Geometry (monodromy invariants). In this note we will…
