      On the cycling operation in braid groups 

      González-Meneses López, Juan; Gebhardt, Volker (Elsevier, 2008-09-06)

      On the singular braid monoid of an orientable surface 

      Díaz Cantos, Jerónimo; González-Meneses López, Juan; Tornero Sánchez, José María (American Mathematical Society, 2004)
      In this paper we show that the singular braid monoid of an orientable surface can be embedded in a group. The proof is purely topological, making no use of the monoid presentation.

      Ordering pure braid groups on compact, connected surfaces 

      González-Meneses López, Juan (University of California, 2002-04)
      We prove that the pure braid groups on compact, connected, orientable surfaces are bi-orderable, and that the pure braid groups on compact, connected non-orientable surfaces have generalized torsion, thus they are not bi-orderable.

      Polynomial braid combing 

      Flores Díaz, Ramón Jesús; González-Meneses López, Juan (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      We prove that, for n ≥ 3, the minimal dimension of a model of the classifying space of the braid group Bn, and of the pure braid group Pn, with respect to the family of virtually cyclic groups is n.

      The nth root of a braid is unique up to conjugacy 

      González-Meneses López, Juan (Mathematical Sciences Publishers, 2003-11-01)
      We prove a conjecture due to Makanin: if α and β are elements of the Artin braid group Bn such that α k = β k for some nonzero integer k, then α and β are conjugate. The proof involves the Nielsen-Thurston classification of braids.
