Three-dimensional braids and their descriptions

Geometric Topology 2013-12-20 v1

Abstract

The notion of a braid is generalized into two and three dimensions. Two-dimensional braids are described by braid monodromies or graphics called charts. In this paper we introduce the notion of curtains, and show that three-dimensional braids are described by braid monodromies or curtains.
