A family of representations of braid groups on surfaces

Byung Hee An and Ki Hyoung Ko

Vol. 247 (2010), No. 2, 257–282
Abstract

We propose a family of homological representations of the braid groups on surfaces. This family extends linear representations of the braid groups on a disc, such as the Burau representation and the Lawrence–Krammer–Bigelow representation.

Keywords
homological representation, surface braid group
