| May 11, 2011 at 19:36 | comment | added | gowers | I have seen that survey and I like it very much. Perhaps you can answer another question: is the list of methods for solving the word problem given in that paper essentially complete (in the sense that all methods are small variants of one of the methods mentioned there)? | |

| May 11, 2011 at 19:05 | comment | added | Maxime Bourrigan | Just a comment on your last paragraph: There are now many ways of solving the word problem for braids quite quickly. Practically, the quickest way is Dehornoy's handle reduction. As we know have explicit faithful linear representations (thanks to Bigelow and Krammer), one can also solve the word problem by multiplying matrices... www.math.unicaen.fr/~dehornoy/Surveys/Dhu.pdf is a relevant survey. | |
