Braids inside the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra

We determine the Zariski closure of the representations of the braid groups that factorize through the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra, for generic values of the parameters $\alpha,s$. For $\alpha,s$ of modulus 1 and close to 1, we prove that these representations are unitarizable, thus deducing the topological closure of the image when in addition $\alpha,s$ are algebraically independent

Representations and symbolic computation of generalized inverses over fields

This paper investigates representations of outer matrix inverses with prescribed range and/or none space in terms of inner inverses. Further, required inner inverses are computed as solutions of appropriate linear matrix equations (LME). In this way, algorithms for computing outer inverses are derived using solutions of appropriately defined LME. Using symbolic solutions to these matrix equations it is possible to derive corresponding algorithms in appropriate computer algebra systems. In addition, we give sufficient conditions to ensure the proper specialization of the presented representations. As a consequence, we derive algorithms to deal with outer inverses with prescribed range and/or none space and with meromorphic functional entries.Agencia Estatal de investigaciónUniversidad de Alcal
