Summary: The reduced Burau representation is a one-parameter representation of \(B_n\), the braid group on \(n\) strings. Specializing the parameter to nonzero complex number \(x\) gives a representation \(\beta_n(x)\colon B_n\to\text{GL}(\mathbb C^{n-2})\), which is either irreducible or has an irreducible composition factor \(\widehat\beta_n(x)\colon B_n\to\text{GL}(\mathbb C^{n-2})\). In our paper, we let \(k\geq 2\), and we determine a sufficient condition for the irreducibility of the tensor product of \(k\) irreducible Burau representations. This is a generalization of our previous work concerning the cases \(k=2\) and \(k=3\).
