Every braid admits a short sigma-definite expression

Jean Fromentin (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A result by Dehornoy (1992) says that every nontrivial braid admits a σ -definite expression, defined as a braid word in which the generator σ i with maximal index i appears with exponents that are all positive, or all negative. This is the ground result for ordering braids. In this paper, we enhance this result and prove that every braid admits a σ -definite word expression that, in addition, is quasi-geodesic. This establishes a longstanding conjecture. Our proof uses the dual braid monoid and a new...

Every knot is a billiard knot

P. V. Koseleff, D. Pecker (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We show that every knot can be realized as a billiard trajectory in a convex prism. This proves a conjecture of Jones and Przytycki.

Examples of quantum braided groups

Hlavatý, Ladislav (1994)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

Summary: The author gives the defining relations of a new type of bialgebras that generalize both the quantum groups and braided groups as well as the quantum supergroups. The relations of the algebras are determined by a pair of matrices ( R , Z ) that solve a system of Yang-Baxter-type equations. The matrix coproduct and counit are of standard matrix form, however, the multiplication in the tensor product of the algebra is defined by virtue of the braiding map given by the matrix Z . Besides simple solutions...

Exemples de feuilletages de Lie

Hamidou Dathe, Jean-François Quint (2006)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Nous donnons des exemples de feuilletages de Lie sur une variété compacte qui ne se déforment pas en des feuilletages de Lie à holonomie discrète.
