Abstract

We give an explicit isomorphism between the Gassner representation and the first weight level of a representation of quantum sl(2). Then we construct and provide matrices for colored versions of the BKL representation and higher Lawrence's representations.

The Burau representation of the braid group is faithful for n = 4

In this paper we use ideas introduced earlier by Moody, Long, Long-Paton, and Bigelow to prove the theorem of the title, that the Burau representation of the classical braid group is faithful for n = 4. An immediate corollary is that the Jones representation of the braid group is also faithful for n = 4.

The Lorenz braid index and hyperbolic volume

A result of Futer, Kalfagianni, and Purcell implies that an upper volume bound for all link complements in the 3-sphere cannot depend solely on the braid index. In this paper, we introduce the Lorenz braid index and generalise the bunch algorithm to provide a general upper volume bound for all link complements in the 3-sphere. Such an upper bound is a quadratic polynomial in the Lorenz braid index. In addition, we construct an explicit family of hyperbolic Lorenz knots for which the classical braid index and the Seifert genus both tend to infinity, while the Lorenz braid index remains bounded.
