Pure Virtual Braids Homotopic to the Identity Braid
Two virtual link diagrams are homotopic if one may be transformed into the other by a sequence of virtual Reidemeister moves, classical Reidemeister moves, and self crossing changes. We recall the pure virtual braid group. We then describe the set of pure virtual braids that are homotopic to the identity braid.
متن کاملPure Virtual Braids, Resonance, and Formality
We investigate the resonance varieties, lower central series ranks, and Chen ranks of the pure virtual braid groups and their upper-triangular subgroups. As an application, we give a complete answer to the 1-formality question for this class of groups. In the process, we explore various connections between the Alexander-type invariants of a finitely generated group and several of the graded Lie...
متن کاملBraids in trivial braid diagrams
We show that every trivial 3-strand braid diagram contains a disk, defined as a ribbon ending in opposed crossings. Under a convenient algebraic form, the result extends to every Artin–Tits group of dihedral type, but it fails to extend to braids with 4 strands and more. The proof uses a partition of the Cayley graph and a continuity argument.
متن کاملThe Braid Index of Reduced Alternating Braids
It is well known that any link can be represented by the closure of a braid. The minimum number of strands needed in a braid whose closure represents a given link is called the braid index of the link. One of the authors had conjectured that if a link has a reduced alternating diagram which is also the closure of a braid on n strands, then the braid index of the link is exactly n. In this paper...
متن کاملGenetic braid optimization: A heuristic approach to compute quasiparticle braids
In topologically protected quantum computation, quantum gates can be carried out by adiabatically braiding two-dimensional quasiparticles, reminiscent of entangled world lines. Bonesteel et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 140503 (2005)], as well as Leijnse and Flensberg [Phys. Rev. B 86, 104511 (2012)], recently provided schemes for computing quantum gates from quasiparticle braids. Mathematically, t...
