On intersecting subgroups of Brunnian link groups

Fengchun Lei, Jie Wu and Yu Zhang

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 16 (2016) 1043–1061
Abstract

Let G(Ln) be the link group of a Brunnian n–link Ln and Ri be the normal closure of the ith meridian in G(Ln) for 1 i n. In this article, we show that the intersecting subgroup R1 R2 Rm coincides with the iterated symmetric commutator subgroup σΣm[[Rσ(1),Rσ(2)],,Rσ(m)] for 2 m n using the techniques of homotopy theory. Moreover, we give a presentation for the intersecting subgroup R1 R2 Rn.
