Given a word $w$ in the braid group $B_n$, representing a pure braid, find the image of $w$ in the abelianization of $P_n$
Suppose I have a word $w$ in the standard generators $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_{n-1}$ of the braid group $B_n$ representing an element which we know belongs to the pure braid group $P_n$, is there an ...
