关于单位根上的Burau表示

On Burau representations at roots of unity

Louis Funar, Toshitake Kohno

摘要:

考虑由标准生成元的$k$次幂生成的辫群的子群,证明了任意无穷交(与偶$k$)是平凡的.这是由斯奎尔的一些关于布劳在单位根上的辫群表示的核心的描述所激发的。此外,我们还利用几何方法证明了三股辫群在这些表示下的象是有限群(对于少数单位根)或三角群的有限扩张.

英文摘要:

We consider subgroups of the braid groups which are generated by $k$-th powers of the standard generators and prove that any infinite intersection (with even $k$) is trivial. This is motivated by some conjectures of Squier concerning the kernels of Burau's representations of the braid groups at roots of unity. Furthermore, we show that the image of the braid group on 3 strands by these representations is either a finite group, for a few roots of unity, or a finite extension of a triangle group, by using geometric methods.
