On the braid groups I
Keywords:
braid, braid groupAbstract
The braid group on n letters is an abstract group generated by two relations and a set of n–1 generators. In this article, some aspects of the structure of the braid group B n will be presented. More precisely, we will investigate properties involving the generators of the group.
