Burau representation of $B_4$ and quantization of the rational projective plane [PDF]
The braid group $B_4$ naturally acts on the rational projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{Q})$, this action corresponds to the classical integral reduced Burau representation of $B_4$. The first result of this paper is a classification of the orbits of

The Burau representation is unitary [PDF]
A slight modification of the Burau representation of the braid group is shown to be unitary relative to an explicitly defined Hermitian form. This gives a partial answer to the problem of identifying the image of the Burau representation and provides a ...

The Burau representation and shapes of polyhedra
We use a geometric approach to show that the reduced Burau representation specialized at roots of unity has another incarnation as the monodromy representation of a moduli space of Euclidean cone metrics on the sphere, as described by Thurston. Using the

The faithfulness question for the Burau representation [PDF]
We consider the Burau and Gassner representations of the braid groups B n {B_n} . A sufficient condition for faithfulness, involving just a pair of arcs, is shown to be necessary as well for all but at

Burau representation for n = 4
The problem of faithfulness of the (reduced) Burau representation for [Formula: see text] is known to be equivalent to the problem of whether certain two matrices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] generate a free group of rank two.

Patterns of Adaptation to Drought in Quercus robur Populations in Central European Temperate Forests. [PDF]
We examined drought tolerance of pedunculate oak from German populations. Our results show that trees from drier regions have greater drought tolerance, suggesting that they actively adapt to their local environment. Moreover, we observed a link between drought tolerance and the timing of spring bud burst, suggesting that adaptation to water stress may

11 pagesThe Burau representation enables to define many other representations of the braid group $B_n$ by the topological operation of ``cabling braids''. We show here that these representations split into copies of the Burau representation itself and of

A Garside-theoretic analysis of the Burau representations [PDF]
We establish relations between both the classical and the dual Garside structures of the braid group and the Burau representation. Using the classical structure, we formulate a non-vanishing criterion for the Burau representation of the 4-strand braid ...

Health Professionals on Cross-Sectoral Collaboration Between Mental Health Hospitals and Municipalities: A Critical Discourse Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study investigates the role of language in cross‐sector collaboration between mental health hospitals and municipalities, focusing on the challenges of maintaining continuity of care and integrating patient‐centered approaches. Using Fairclough's framework for critical discourse analysis, we examined focus group interviews with 21 ...
