The relationships between the conjugate classes of 3-braids and the link types of their closure are investigated, and it is shown that the product link type of closed pure 3-braid is determined by its conjugate class.
This book provides a comprehensive exposition of the theory of braids, beginning with the basic mathematical definitions and structures. Among the many topics explained in detail are: the braid group for various surfaces; the solution of the word problem for the braid group; bra…
