A₂ Skein Representations of Pure Braid Groups

Publication date 16 November 2017

Braid groups; Artin groups (20F36) General low-dimensional topology (57M99)

Abstract: We define a family of representations

{h o_{n}}_{n g e q 0}

of a pure braid group

P_{2 k}

. These representations are obtained from an action of

P_{2 k}

on a certain type of

A_{2}

web space with color

n

. The

A_{2}

web space is a generalization of the Kauffman bracket skein module of a disk with marked points on its boundary. We also introduce a triangle-free basis of such an

A_{2}

web space and calculate matrix representations of

h o_{n}

about the standard generators of

P_{2 k}

.
