Brunnian braids on surfaces

Valery G Bardakov, Roman Mikhailov, Vladimir V Vershinin and Jie Wu

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 12 (2012) 1607–1648

DOI: 10.2140/agt.2012.12.1607
Abstract

We determine a set of generators for the Brunnian braids on a general surface M for M≠S2 or RP2. For the case M = S2 or RP2, a set of generators for the Brunnian braids on M is given by our generating set together with the homotopy groups of a 2–sphere.

Keywords
