Maypole Dance of Braid Like Groups (2009) 6 months ago (divisbyzero.com) 5 comments srean Reply Add to library mathgradthrow 6 months ago the maypole group is indeed a subgroup of a braid group. juat add the pole itself as the rightmost strand. srean 6 months ago Ah ! Of course. srean 6 months ago Have been silently enjoying the recent interest of HN on topics of knitting and weaving. I find weaving far easier to understand.Tempted to get a multi-shaft loom, but they are expensive. jiggawatts 6 months ago There are some interesting parallels between the algebra of fundamental particles in theoretical physics and braid groups. I suspect this is an artefact of the algebraic formalism, but the connection is hard to ignore.
