Mixed configuration spaces, fixed points and Loop braid groups
Stavroula Makri
We introduce the notion of mixed configuration spaces of the -ball. That is, we consider both distinct circles and distinct points in the interior of the -ball and we prove t…
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…
Strong Nielsen equivalence on the punctured disc
Stavroula Makri
Let be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the 2-disc that fixes the boundary pointwise and leaves invariant a finite subset in the interior of $\mathbb{D…
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…
The unrestricted virtual braid groups
Stavroula Makri
Let and be the unrestricted virtual braid group and the unrestricted virtual pure braid group on n strands respectively. We study the groups and , an…
The braid groups and the splitting problem of the generalised Fadell-Neuwirth short exact sequence
Stavroula Makri
Let , and let be the set of -braids of the projective plane whose associated permutation lies in the subgroup o…
