Generalising previous results on classical braid groups by Artin and Lin, we determine the values of m, n $\in$ N for which there exists a surjection between the n-and m-string braid groups of an orientable surface without boundary. This…

Let M be a compact surface, either orientable or non-orientable. We study the lower central and derived series of the braid and pure braid groups of M in order to determine the values of n for which B\_n(M) and P\_n(M) are residually…

Understanding the lower central series of a group is, in general, a difficult task. It is, however, a rewarding one: computing the lower central series and the associated Lie algebras of a group or of some of its subgroups can lead to a…

We consider exact sequences and lower central series of surface braid groups and we explain how they can prove to be useful for obtaining representations for surface braid groups. In particular, using a completely algebraic framework, we…

We give presentations of braid groups and pure braid groups on surfaces.

We determine the lower central and derived series of the n-string braid groups B_n(RP^2) of the real projective plane. We are motivated in part by the study of Fadell-Neuwirth short exact sequences, but the problem is interesting in its own…

The aim of this article is to draw attention towards various natural but unanswered questions related to the lower central series of the unit group of an integral group ring.

We give a survey of the theory of surface braid groups and the lower algebraic K-theory of their group rings. We recall several definitions and describe various properties of surface braid groups, such as the existence of torsion,…

For surface groups and right-angled Artin groups, we prove lower bounds on the shortest word in the generators representing a nontrivial element of the kth term of the lower central series.

Following previous work on congruence subgroups and crystallographic braid groups, we study the lower central series of congruence braid groups related to the braid group $B_3$, showing in particular that corresponding quotients are almost…

We provide new group presentations for surface braid groups which are positive. We study some properties of such presentations and we solve the conjugacy problem in a particular case.

In this paper we give new presentations of the braid groups and the pure braid groups of a closed surface. We also give an algorithm to solve the word problem in these groups, using the given presentations.

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…

Brunnian braids have interesting relations with homotopy groups of spheres. In this work, we study the graded Lie algebra of the descending central series related to Brunnian subgroup of the pure braid group. A presentation of this Lie…

We prove that the pure braid groups on closed, orientable surfaces are bi-orderable, and that the pure braid groups on closed, non-orientable surfaces have generalized torsion, thus they are not bi-orderable.

We find the lower central series for residually nilpotent Baumslag-Solitar groups, and find the intersection of all terms of the lower central series. Also, we find non-abelian Bauslag-Solitar groups for which the lower central series has…

We prove that pure braid groups of closed surface are almost-direct products of residually torsion free nilpotent groups and hence residually torsion free nilpotent. As a Corollary, we prove also that braid groups on 2 strands of closed…

In this paper, we study subgroup separability (also known as LERF) and related properties for surface braid groups and virtual (singular) braid groups.

In this paper we introduce the framed pure braid group on $n$ strands of an oriented surface, a topological generalisation of the pure braid group $P_n$. We give different equivalents definitions for framed pure braid groups and we study…

For an odd prime $p$, we determine the lower central series of a large family of non-periodic GGS-groups, which has a density of roughly $(\frac{p-1}{p})^2$ within all GGS-groups. This means a significant extension of the knowledge…
