The Burau representation of the braid group is faithful for n = 4
2 days ago
- The paper proves that the Burau representation of the classical braid group is faithful for n = 4.
- The proof builds on ideas from Moody, Long, Long-Paton, and Bigelow.
- A corollary of this result is that the Jones representation of the braid group is also faithful for n = 4.
