On Rigidity and the Isomorphism Problem for Tree Braid Groups
We solve the isomorphism problem for braid groups on trees with n = 4 or 5 strands. We do so in three main steps, each of which is interesting in its own right. First, we establish some tools and terminology for dealing with computations using the cohomology of tree braid groups, couching our discussion in the language of differential forms. Second, we show that, given a tree braid group BnT on...
متن کاملEmbeddings 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 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 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 ...
متن کاملOn braid groups and homotopy groups
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of certain connections between the braid groups [1, 3] and classical homotopy groups which arises in joint work of Jon Berrick, Yan-Loi Wong and the authors [8, 2, 32]. These connections emerge through several other natural contexts such as Lie algebras attached to the descending central series of pure braid groups arising as Vassiliev invari...
