A large class of positive finite presentations of the braid groups is found and studied. It is shown that no presentations but known exceptions in this class have the property that equivalent braid words are also equivalent under positive…

We describe pure braided versions of Thompson's group F. These groups, $BF$ and $\hat{BF}$, are subgroups of the braided versions of Thompson's group V, introduced by Brin and Dehornoy. Unlike V, elements of F are order-preserving self-maps…

Let $M$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $g\ge 1$, let $B_n(M)$ be the braid group of $M$ on $n$ strings, and let $SB_n(M)$ be the corresponding singular braid monoid. Our purpose in this paper is to prove that the desingularization…

In the general context of presentations of monoids, we study normalisation processes that are determined by their restriction to length-two words. Garside's greedy normal forms and quadratic convergent rewriting systems, in particular those…

We study braid diagrams with a minimal number of crossings. Such braid diagrams correspond to geodesic words for the braid groups with standard Artin generators. We prove that a diagram of a homogeneous braid is minimal if and only if it is…

We study a certain type of braid closure which resembles the plat closure but has certain advantages; for example, it maps pure braids to knots. The main results of this note are a Markov-type theorem and a description of how Vassiliev…

In this article, we study the irreducibility of representations of the singular braid group on $n$ strands, namely $SB_n$. Our first finding is the determination of the forms of all irreducible representations $\rho : SB_2 \to…

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 prove that the Garside length a braid is equal to a winding-number type invariant of the curve diagram of the braid.

If g is a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra, one can asks what is the geometrical meaning of its r-matrix. A first answer was given in a paper by Weinstein and Xu, using purely geometrical means: roughly, one has that the formal Poisson group…

We introduce the notion of a braiding on a skew monoidal category, whose curious feature is that the defining isomorphisms involve three objects rather than two. These braidings are shown to arise from, and classify, cobraidings (also known…

We consider the Lie algebra associated with the descending central series filtration of the pure braid group of a closed surface of arbitrary genus. R. Bezrukavnikov gave a presentation of this Lie algebra over the rational numbers. We show…

M. Picantin introduced the notion of Garside groups of spindle type, generalizing the 3-strand braid group. We show that, for linear Garside groups of spindle type, a normal form and a solution to the conjugacy problem are logspace…

We introduce a ramified monoid, attached to each Brauer--type monoid, that is, to the symmetric group, to the Jones and Brauer monoids among others. Ramified monoids correspond to a class of tied monoids which arise from knot theory and are…

In this paper it is proved that the pure braided Thompson's group BF admits a bi-order, analog to the bi-order of the pure braid groups.

It has been conjectured that in a braid group, or more generally in a Garside group, applying any sequence of monotone equivalences and word reversings can increase the length of a word by at most a linear factor depending on the group…

We study the centralizer of a braid from the point of view of Garside theory, showing that generically a minimal set of generators can be computed very efficiently, as the ultra summit set of a generic braid has a very particular structure.…

Empirical properties of generating systems for complex reflection groups and their braid groups have been observed by Orlik-Solomon and Brou\'e-Malle-Rouquier, using Shephard-Todd classification. We give a general existence result for…

We use some Lie group theory and Budney's unitarization of the Lawrence-Krammer representation, to prove that for generic parameters of definite form the image of the representation (also on certain types of subgroups) is dense in the…

For some infinite-dimensional groups $G$ and suitable subgroups $K$ there exists a monoid structure on the set $K\backslash G/K$ of double cosets of $G$ with respect to $K$. In this paper we show that the group $B_\infty$, of the braids…
