Conjugacy in Garside Groups III: Periodic braids
(Elsevier, 2007-10-15)
An element in Artin’s braid group Bn is said to be periodic if some power of it lies in the center of Bn. In this paper we prove that all previously known algorithms for solving the conjugacy search problem in Bn are ...

On the structure of the centralizer of a braid
(Elsevier, 2004)
The mixed braid groups are the subgroups of Artin braid groups whose elements preserve a given partition of the base points. We prove that the centralizer of any braid can be expressed in terms of semidirect and ...

On the singular braid monoid of an orientable surface
(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.

Presentations for the monoids of singular braids on closed surfaces
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)
We give presentations, in terms of generators and relations, for the monoids SBn(M) of singular braids on closed surfaces. The proof of the validity of these presentations can also be applied to verify, in a new way, the ...

The nth root of a braid is unique up to conjugacy
(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 ...
