Braids in Pau – An Introduction

Enrique Artal Bartolo, Vincent Florens (2011)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

In this work, we describe the historic links between the study of 3 -dimensional manifolds (specially knot theory) and the study of the topology of complex plane curves with a particular attention to the role of braid groups and Alexander-like invariants (torsions, different instances of Alexander polynomials). We finish with detailed computations in an example.

Brauer relations in finite groups

Alex Bartel, Tim Dokchitser (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

If G is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic G -sets X , Y may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations [ X ] [ Y ] . Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the rational representation ring of G has a kernel. Its elements are called Brauer relations, and the purpose of this paper is to classify them in all finite groups, extending the Tornehave–Bouc classification in the case of p -groups.

Bruhat-Tits theory from Berkovich’s point of view. I. Realizations and compactifications of buildings

Bertrand Rémy, Amaury Thuillier, Annette Werner (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We investigate Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications by means of Berkovich analytic geometry over complete non-Archimedean fields. For every reductive group G over a suitable non-Archimedean field k we define a map from the Bruhat-Tits building ( G , k ) to the Berkovich analytic space G an associated with G . Composing this map with the projection of G an to its flag varieties, we define a family of compactifications of ( G , k ) . This generalizes results by Berkovich in the case of split groups. Moreover,...

Brunnian links

Paul Gartside, Sina Greenwood (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A Brunnian link is a set of n linked loops such that every proper sublink is trivial. Simple Brunnian links have a natural algebraic representation. This is used to determine the form, length and number of minimal simple Brunnian links. Braids are used to investigate when two algebraic words represent equivalent simple Brunnian links that differ only in the arrangement of the component loops.

Butler groups and Shelah's Singular Compactness

Ladislav Bican (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A torsion-free group is a B 2 -group if and only if it has an axiom-3 family of decent subgroups such that each member of has such a family, too. Such a family is called S L 0 -family. Further, a version of Shelah’s Singular Compactness having a rather simple proof is presented. As a consequence, a short proof of a result [R1] stating that a torsion-free group B in a prebalanced and TEP exact sequence 0 K C B 0 is a B 2 -group provided K and C are so.
