Presentations of the braid group of the complex reflection group G(d,d,n)$G(d,d,n)$
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract We show that the braid group associated to the complex reflection group G(d,d,n)$G(d,d,n)$ is an index d$d$ subgroup of the braid group of the orbifold quotient of the complex numbers by a cyclic group of order d$d$. We also give a compatible presentation of G(d,d,n)$G(d,d,n)$ and its braid group for each tagged triangulation of the disk with ...

Skein theory for the Links–Gould polynomial
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Building further on work of Marin and Wagner, we give a cubic braid‐type skein theory of the Links–Gould polynomial invariant of oriented links and prove that it can be used to evaluate any oriented link, adding this polynomial to the list of polynomial invariants that can be computed by skein theory. As a consequence, we prove that this skein

Combination theorems for Wise's power alternative
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract We show that Wise's power alternative is stable under certain group constructions, use this to prove the power alternative for new classes of groups and recover known results from a unified perspective. For groups acting on trees, we introduce a dynamical condition that allows us to deduce the power alternative for the group from the power ...

Quotients of the Artin braid groups and crystallographic groups
, 2015 Let n be greater than or equal to 3. We study the quotient group B\_n/[P n,P\_n] of the Artin braid group B\_n by the commutator subgroup of its pure Artin braid group P\_n. We show that B\_n/[P n,P\_n] is a crystallographic group, and in the case n=3, we analyse explicitly some of its subgroups.

Graph of groups decompositions of graph braid groups [PDF]
, 2023 We provide an explicit construction that allows one to easily decompose a graph braid group as a graph of groups. This allows us to compute the braid groups of a wide range of graphs, as well as providing two general criteria for a graph braid group to ...

Structure theorems for braided Hopf algebras
Journal of Topology, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract We develop versions of the Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt and Cartier–Milnor–Moore theorems in the setting of braided Hopf algebras. To do so, we introduce new analogs of a Lie algebra in the setting of a braided monoidal category, using the notion of a braided operad.

Braid groups and right angled Artin groups
, 2004 The n-string braid group of a graph X is defined as the fundamental group of the n-point configuration space of the space X. This configuration space is a finite dimensional aspherical space. A. Abrams and R. Ghrist have conjectured that this braid group is a right angled Artin group if X is planar.

Homogeneous braids are visually prime
Journal of Topology, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract We show that closures of homogeneous braids are visually prime, addressing a question of Cromwell. The key technical tool for the proof is the following criterion concerning primeness of open books, which we consider to be of independent interest.

The CAT(0) dimension of 3-generator Artin groups
, 2002 The three generator Artin groups A(m,n.2) are known to be have CAT(O) dimension strictly greater than two if both m and n are odd [BC]. In Chapter 1 we introduce the notions of CAT(O) dimension and three generator Artingroups.In Chapter 2 we show that if

The Dehn twist coefficient for big and small mapping class groups
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 112, Issue 2, August 2025.Abstract We study a quasimorphism, which we call the Dehn twist coefficient (DTC), from the mapping class group of a surface (with a chosen compact boundary component) that generalizes the well‐studied fractional Dehn twist coefficient (FDTC) to surfaces of infinite type. Indeed, for surfaces of finite type, the DTC coincides with the FDTC.
