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.

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 ...
