Representations of the Necklace Braid Group: Topological and Combinatorial Approaches

Alex Bullivant, Andrew Kimball, Paul Martin +1

The necklace braid group ${\mathcal{N}\mathcal{B}}_n$ is the motion group of the $n+1$ component necklace link ${\mathcal{L}}_n$ in Euclidean ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. Here ${\mathcal{L}}_n$ consists of $n$…
