Shi arrangements and low elements in Coxeter groups
Abstract Given an arbitrary Coxeter system (W,S)$(W,S)$ and a non‐negative integer m$m$, the m$m$‐Shi arrangement of (W,S)$(W,S)$ is a subarrangement of the Coxeter hyperplane arrangement of (W,S)$(W,S)$. The classical Shi arrangement (m=0$m=0$) was introduced in the case of affine Weyl groups by Shi to study Kazhdan–Lusztig cells for W$W$.

Artin braid groups and spin structures
We study the action of the Artin braid group B_{2g+2} on the set of spin structures on a hyperelliptic curve of genus g, which reduces to that of the symmetric group. It has been already described in terms of the classical theory of Riemann surfaces.

Topological Complexity of Configuration Spaces [PDF]
In this thesis we study the homotopy invariant TC(X); the topological complexity of a space X. This invariant, introduced by Farber in [15], was originally motivated by a problem in Robotics; the motion planning problem.

Rational cross‐sections, bounded generation, and orders on groups
Abstract We provide new examples of groups without rational cross‐sections (also called regular normal forms), using connections with bounded generation and rational orders on groups. Our examples contain a finitely presented HNN‐extension of the first Grigorchuk group. This last group is the first example of finitely presented group with solvable word

The generalized Harer conjecture for the homology triviality
Abstract The classical Harer conjecture states the stable homology triviality of the canonical embedding ϕ:B2g+2↪Γg$\phi: B_{2g+2} \hookrightarrow \Gamma _{g}$, which was proved by Song and Tillmann. The main part of the proof is to show that Bϕ+:BB∞+→BΓ∞+$\operatorname{B}\phi ^{+}: \operatorname{B}B_{\infty }^{+} \rightarrow \operatorname{B}\Gamma _ ...

COMPLETING ARTIN'S BRAID GROUP ON INFINITELY MANY STRANDS [PDF]
A generalization of the topological fundamental group is developed in order to construct a completion of Artin's braid group on infinitely many strands with respect to the following notion of convergence: bn → id iff for each M > 0, eventually the first M strands of bn are trivial.

Unified invariant of knots from homological braid action on Verma modules
Abstract We re‐build the quantum sl(2)${\mathfrak {sl}(2)}$ unified invariant of knots F∞$F_{\infty }$ from braid groups' action on tensors of Verma modules. It is a two variables series having the particularity of interpolating both families of colored Jones polynomials and ADO polynomials, that is, semisimple and non‐semisimple invariants of knots ...

Computation of centralizers in braid groups and Garside groups [PDF]
We give a new method to compute the centralizer of an element in Artin braid groups and, more generally, in Garside groups. This method, together with the solution of the conjugacy problem given by the authors in [9] Franco, N. and Gonzalez-Meneses, J.

Commensurability invariance for abelian splittings of right-angled Artin groups, braid groups and loop braid groups [PDF]
We prove that if a right-angled Artin group $A_Γ$ is abstractly commensurable to a group splitting non-trivially as an amalgam or HNN-extension over $\mathbb{Z}^n$, then $A_Γ$ must itself split non-trivially over $\mathbb{Z}^k$ for some $k\le n$. Consequently, if two right-angled Artin groups $A_Γ$ and $A_Δ$ are commensurable and $Γ$ has no separating $
