Round twin groups on few strands

Publication date 19 March 2023

Abstract: We study the fundamental group of the configuration space of

n

ordered points on the circle no three of which are equal. We compute it for

n < 6

and describe its homology for

n = 6

. We also show how, for arbitrary

n

, this group can be assembled from planar braid groups, relate it to the pure cactus group and construct a cubical complex homotopy equivalent to its classifying space.
