We describe a collection of graded rings which surject onto Webster rings for sl(2) and which should be related to certain categories of singular Soergel bimodules. In the first non-trivial case, we construct a categorical braid group action which categorifies the Burau representation.  相似文献

We study the local linear representations of the braid group B 3 and the homogeneous local representations of B n for n ≥ 2. We investigate the connection of these representations with the Burau representation. The linear representations of B n are constructed from the Wada representation of B n in the automorphism group of a free group.  相似文献

In this paper, it is proved that the intersection of the radicals of nilpotent residues for the generalized pure braid group corresponding to an irreducible finite Coxeter group or an irreducible imprimitive finite complex reflection group is always trivial. The proof uses the solvability of the Riemann—Hilbert problem for analytic families of faithful linear representations by the Lappo-Danilevskii method. Generalized Burau representations are defined for the generalized braid groups corresponding to finite complex reflection groups whose Dynkin—Cohen graphs are trees. The Fuchsian connections for which the monodromy representations are equivalent to the restrictions of generalized Burau representations to pure braid groups are described. The question about the faithfulness of generalized Burau representations and their restrictions to pure braid groups is posed.  相似文献

ABSTRACT.

Let G be the group ?[t, t ?1] x ?. By studying the action of the braid group Bn on the set Gn , we obtain representations of Bn into a wreath product of the symmetric group and the general linear group over ?[t, t ?1]. This in particular recovers the Burau representation of the braid group. Furthermore, some quotients of the braid group are obtained by using the representations found.  相似文献

A special class of integrable Fuchsian systems on C n related to KZ equations is considered. We survey the construction of such systems and the list of the structural properties their monodromy representations. The relation of the Fuchsian systems obtained by the Veselov construction assosiated with a deformation of the A n–1-type root system and the Gauss–Manin connection of the natural projection C n C n–1 is described. In this case, we prove that the monodromy representation is equivalent to the Burau representation of the Artin braid group. For a deformations of the other root system, we introduce generalized Burau representations. We conjecture that the integrable Fuchsian systems related to essential new finite sets of the vectors described by Veselov and Chalykh are the result of the Klares–Schlesinger isomonodromic deformations (or transformation) of the integrable Fuchsian system related to the Coxeter root systems.  相似文献

This work is directed towards the open question of the faithfulness of the reduced Gassner representation of the pure braid group, . Long and Paton proved that if a Burau matrix has ones on the diagonal and zeros below the diagonal then is the identity matrix. In this paper, a generalization of Long and Paton's result will be proved. Our main theorem is that if the trace of the image of an element of under the reduced Gassner representation is , then this element lies in the kernel of this representation. Then, as a corollary, we prove that an analogue of the main theorem holds true for the Burau representation of the braid group.

In this paper, we present a straightforward pictorial representation of the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) which enables us to translate the abstract algebraic structure of a DAHA into an intuitive graphical calculus suitable for a physics audience. Initially, we define the larger double affine Q-dependent braid group. This group is constructed by appending to the braid group a set of operators Q i , before extending it to an affine Q-dependent braid group. We show specifically that the elliptic braid group and the DAHA can be obtained as quotient groups. Complementing this, we present a pictorial representation of the double affine Q-dependent braid group based on ribbons living in a toroid. We show that in this pictorial representation, we can fully describe any DAHA. Specifically, we graphically describe the parameter q upon which this algebra is dependent and show that in this particular representation q corresponds to a twist in the ribbon.  相似文献

We construct a functor from the category of oriented tangles in R3 to the category of Hermitian modules and Lagrangian relations over Z[t,t-1]. This functor extends the Burau representations of the braid groups and its generalization to string links due to Le Dimet.  相似文献

On complex linear spaces, Fuchs-type Pfaffian systems are studied that are defined by configurations of vectors in these spaces. These systems are referred to as R-systems in this paper. For the vector configurations that are systems of roots of complex reflection groups, the monodromy representations of R-systems are described. These representations are deformations of the standard representations of reflection groups. Such deformations define representations of generalized braid groups corresponding to complex reflection groups and are similar to the Burau representations of the Artin braid groups.  相似文献

We show several geometric and algebraic aspects of a necklace: a link composed with a core circle and a series of (unlinked) circles linked to this core. We first prove that the fundamental group of the configuration space of necklaces (that we will call braid group of a necklace) is isomorphic to the braid group over an annulus quotiented by the square of the center. We then define braid groups of necklaces and affine braid groups of type \(\mathcal {A}\) in terms of automorphisms of free groups and characterize these automorphisms among all automorphisms of free groups. In the case of affine braid groups of type \(\mathcal {A}\) such a representation is faithful.  相似文献

The standard historical narrative regarding formalism during the twentieth century indicates the 1920s as a highpoint in the mathematical formalization project. This was marked by Hilbert’s statement that the sign stood at the beginning of pure mathematics [‘Neubegründung der Mathematik. Erste Mitteilung’, Abhandlungen aus dem Mathematischen Seminar der Universität Hamburg, 1 (1922), 157–177]. If one takes the braid group as a case study of research whose official goal was to symbolically formalize braids and weaving patterns, a reconsideration of this strict definition of formalism is nevertheless required. For example, does it reflect what actually occurred in practice in the mathematical research of this period? As this article shows, the research on the braid group between 1926 and 1950, led among others by Artin, Burau, Fröhlich and Bohnenblust, was characterized by a variety of practices and reasoning techniques. These were not only symbolic and deductive, but also diagrammatic and visual. Against the historical narrative of formalism as based on a well-defined chain of graphic signs that has freedom of interpretation, this article presents how these different ways of reasoning—which were not only sign based—functioned together within the research of the braid group; it will be shown how they are simultaneously necessary and complementary for each other.  相似文献

In this paper we study the graded quotients of the lower central series of the image of the IA-automorphism group of a free group by the Burau representation. In particular, we determine their structures for degrees 1 and 2.  相似文献

We study the action of the mapping class group on the integral homology of finite covers of a topological surface. We use the homological representation of the mapping class to construct a faithful infinite-dimensional representation of the mapping class group. We show that this representation detects the Nielsen–Thurston classification of each mapping class. We then discuss some examples that occur in the theory of braid groups and develop an analogous theory for automorphisms of free groups. We close with some open problems.  相似文献

 Let Γ be the fundamental group of the complement of a K(Γ, 1) hyperplane arrangement (such as Artin's pure braid group) or more generally a homologically toroidal group as defined below. The triviality of bundles arising from orthogonal representations of Γ is characterized completely as follows. An orthogonal representation gives rise to a trivial bundle if and only if the representation factors through the spinor groups. Furthermore, the subgroup of elements in the complex K-theory of BΓ which arises from complex unitary representations of Γ is shown to be trivial. In the case of real K-theory, the subgroup of elements which arises from real orthogonal representations of Γ is an elementary abelian 2-group, which is characterized completely in terms of the first two Stiefel-Whitney classes of the representation. In addition, quadratic relations in the cohomology algebra of the pure braid groups which correspond precisely to the Jacobi identity for certain choices of Poisson algebras are shown to give the existence of certain homomorphisms from the pure braid group to generalized Heisenberg groups. These cohomology relations correspond to non-trivial Spin representations of the pure braid groups which give rise to trivial bundles.

A braid is called algebraic if it is conjugated to the local braid of an algebraic function at a singular point. It is shown that any homomorphism of a free group into a braid group which takes each generator to an algebraic braid, can be realized as the braid monodromy of an algebraic function in a disk.  相似文献

The cycling operation is a special kind of conjugation that can be applied to elements in Artin’s braid groups, in order to reduce their length. It is a key ingredient of the usual solutions to the conjugacy problem in braid groups. In their seminal paper on braid-cryptography, Ko, Lee et al. proposed the cycling problem as a hard problem in braid groups that could be interesting for cryptography. In this paper we give a polynomial solution to that problem, mainly by showing that cycling is surjective, and using a result by Maffre which shows that pre-images under cycling can be computed fast. This result also holds in every Artin-Tits group of spherical type, endowed with the Artin Garside structure.On the other hand, the conjugacy search problem in braid groups is usually solved by computing some finite sets called (left) ultra summit sets (left-USSs), using left normal forms of braids. But one can equally use right normal forms and compute right-USSs. Hard instances of the conjugacy search problem correspond to elements having big (left and right) USSs. One may think that even if some element has a big left-USS, it could possibly have a small right-USS. We show that this is not the case in the important particular case of rigid braids. More precisely, we show that the left-USS and the right-USS of a given rigid braid determine isomorphic graphs, with the arrows reversed, the isomorphism being defined using iterated cycling. We conjecture that the same is true for every element, not necessarily rigid, in braid groups and Artin-Tits groups of spherical type.  相似文献

We introduce the BC-operation (short for braid-companion) on tuples of matrices. It corresponds to Katz's middle convolution operation on local systems, and generalizes it to fields K of arbitrary characteristic. It is based on the Burau–Gassner representation of the braid group. We expect many applications, in Galois theory (for finite K) as well as in Katz's original set-up of local systems and linear differential equations (where K = ).  相似文献
