An algorithm for the word problem in braid groups

Bert Wiest

We suggest a new algorithm for finding a canonical representative of a given braid, and also for the harder problem of finding a -consistent representative. We conjecture that…

Orderable 3-manifold groups

Steven Boyer, Dale Rolfsen, Bert Wiest

We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact P^2-irre…
