Review text

The aim of this paper is to provide an alternative proof of the faithfulness of the \(2\)-braid groups in the type \(B\) case. This proof is more similar to that of type \(A\) case. In order to do so, the authors construct a quiver algebra \(\mathcal B\) (which is referred to as the \textit{type \(B\) zigzag} algebra) such that the type-\(B\) Artin braid group acts faithfully on the homotopy category of projective modules over \(\mathcal B\) using certain complexes of \(\mathcal B\)-bimodules. Then they construct the quotient function from the category of Soergel bimodules to that of \((\mathcal B,\mathcal B)\)-bimodules, and from this they derive the faithfulness of the \(2\)-braid group as an easy consequence.
