We establish a link between the new theory of $q$-deformed rational numbers and the classical Burau representation of the braid group $\mathrm{B}_3$. We apply this link to the open problem of classification of faithful complex…
We establish strong constraints on the kernel of the (reduced) Burau representation $\beta_4:B_4\to \text{GL}_3\left(\mathbb{Z}\left[q^{\pm 1}\right]\right)$ of the braid group $B_4$. We develop a theory to explicitly determine the entries…
This paper aims to generalize Artin's ideas to establish an one-to-one correspondence between the orbit braid group $B^{orb}_n(\mathbb{C},\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and a quotient of a group formed by some particular homeomorphisms of a punctured…
We describe a family of compactifications of the space of Bridgeland stability conditions of any triangulated category following earlier work by Bapat, Deopurkar, and Licata. We particularly consider the case of the 2-Calabi--Yau category…
\begin{abstract} The reduced Burau representation is a natural action of the braid group $B_n$ on the first homology group $H_1({\tilde{D}}_n;\mathbb{Z})$ of a suitable infinite cyclic covering space ${\tilde{D}}_n$ of the $n$--punctured…
We generalize in two steps the quantized action of the modular group on $q$-deformed real numbers introduced by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko. First, we let the projective general linear group $PGL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ act on $q$-real numbers via a…
The recent notion of $q$-deformed irrational numbers is characterized by the invariance with respect to the action of the modular group $\PSL(2,\Z)$, or equivalently under the Burau representation of the braid group~$B_3$. The theory of…
It is known that there are braids $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in the braid group $B_4$, such that the group $\langle \alpha, \beta \rangle$ is a fee subgroup \cite{7}, which contains the kernel $K$ of the Burau map $\rho_4 : B_4 \to G L\left(3,…
In 1997, Cooper-Long established the nontriviality of the kernel of the modulo 2 Burau representation for the 4-strand braid group, $B_4$. This paper extends their work by embedding the image group into a finitely presented group. As an…
It is a classical result in representation theory that the braid group $\mathscr{B}_\mathfrak{g}$ of a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ acts on any integrable representation of $\mathfrak{g}$ via triple products of exponentials in its…
We establish relations between both the classical and the dual Garside structures of the braid group and the Burau representation. Using the classical structure, we formulate a non-vanishing criterion for the Burau representation of the…
We show by finding an explicit parametrization that a 4th degree surface which arises as a necessary condition for the existence of a perfect cuboid is a rational surface, i.e. birationally equivalent over $\mathbb Q$ to a plane.
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 show that the kernel of $Burau(4) \otimes Z_p$, the reduced Burau representation with coefficients in $Z_p$ of the 4-braid group $B_4$, consists only of pseudo-Anosov braids.
In [1] we have constructed a [n+1/2]+1 parameters family of irreducible representations of the Braid group B_3 in arbitrary dimension using a $q-$deformation of the Pascal triangle. This construction extends in particular results by S.P.…
The reduced Burau representation $V_n$ of the braid group $B_n$ is obtained from the action of $B_n$ on the homology of an infinite cyclic cover of the $n$-punctured disc. In this note, we calculate $H_*(B_n;V_n)$ as a module over the…
We prove that the image of the Full braid group $B_{n+1}$ on $n+1$ strands under the Burau representation, evaluated at a primitive $d$-th root of unity is arithmetic provided $n\geq d$.
We construct a [(n+1)/2]+1 parameters family of irreducible representations of the Braid group B_3 in arbitrary dimension n\in N, using a q-deformation of the Pascal triangle. This construction extends in particular results by S.P.Humphries…
We give a method to produce faithful representations of the groups $G(n,m)=\langle X, Y \ \vert \ X^m = Y^n \rangle$ in $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{C}[t^{\pm 1}, q^{\pm 1}])$. These groups are Garside groups and the Garside normal forms of…
We define a family of the braid group representations via the action of the $R$-matrix (of the quasitriangular extension) of the restricted quantum $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ on a tensor power of a simple projective module. This family is an…
