= Burau representation
{wiki=Burau_representation}
The Burau representation is a linear representation of the braid groups, which are fundamental objects in algebraic topology and knot theory. Specifically, it provides a way to understand braids through matrices and linear transformations. Here's a brief overview of the key aspects of the Burau representation: 1. **Braid Groups**: The braid group \\( B_n \\) consists of braids formed with \\( n \\) strands. The group operation corresponds to concatenation of braids.
