Embeddings of graph braid and surface groups in right-angled Artin groups and braid groups
We prove by explicit construction that graph braid groups and most surface groups can be embedded in a natural way in right-angled Artin groups, and we point out some consequences of these embedding results. We also show that every right-angled Artin group can be embedded in a pure surface braid group. On the other hand, by generalising to rightangled Artin groups a result of Lyndon for free gr...
متن کاملGauge Invariance and Noncommutativity *
The role of the gauge invariance in noncommutative field theory is discussed. A basic introduction to noncommutative geometry and noncommutative field theory is given. Background invariant formulation of Wilson lines is proposed. Duality symmetries relating various noncommutative gauge models are being discussed. ∗Work supported by RFBR grant #, INTAS grant # and Scientific School Support grant #.
متن کاملArtin Braid Groups and Homotopy Groups
We study the Brunnian subgroups and the boundary Brunnian subgroups of the Artin braid groups. The general higher homotopy groups of the sphere are given by mirror symmetric elements in the quotient groups of the Artin braid groups modulo the boundary Brunnian braids, as well as given as a summand of the center of the quotient groups of Artin pure braid groups modulo boundary Brunnian braids. T...
متن کاملQuantisation and Gauge Invariance
Recent developments concerning canonical quantisation and gauge invariant quantum mechanical systems and quantum field theories are briefly discussed. On the one hand, it is shown how diffeomorphic covariant representations of the Heisenberg algebra over curved manifolds of non trivial topology involve topology classes of flat U(1) bundles. On the other hand, through some examples, the recently...
متن کاملFlat Connections, Braid Groups and Quantum Groups
In this talk, I will describe how quantum groups serve as a useful means of expressing the monodromy of certain integrable, first order PDE’s. A fundamental, and paradigmatic result in this context is the Kohno–Drinfeld theorem. Roughly speaking, it asserts that the representations of Artin’s braid groups on n strands given by the universal R-matrix of a quantum group describe the monodromy of ...
