The generalized Lefschetz number and loop braid groups
Stavroula Makri
We study the interplay between braid group theory and topological dynamics in three dimensions. While classical braid theory has been extensively applied to surface homeomorphisms…

On sections of configurations of points on orientable surfaces
Stavroula Makri
We study the configuration space of distinct, unordered points on compact orientable surfaces of genus , denoted . Specifically, we address the section problem, which conce…

Unrestricted virtual braids and crystallographic braid groups
Paolo Bellingeri, John Guaschi, Stavroula Makri
We show that the crystallographic braid group embeds naturally in the group of unrestricted virtual braids , we give new proofs of known results about the to…
