The classification conjecture for good braid-group representations
The classification conjecture for good braid-group representations
Let be the braid group on strands and let be the symmetric group. A homomorphism is canonical when and belongs to the canonical construction in the paper; it is standard when and and belongs to the standard family; and it is derived from a canonical or standard homomorphism when it is obtained by the paper's derivation construction.
Classification conjecture. Every good non-cyclic transitive homomorphism is canonical when , standard when and , or derived from a canonical or standard homomorphism when .
This is the paper's proposed complete classification of good transitive non-cyclic permutation representations. The paper proves representative cases but does not establish the full assertion.
