On the Burau representation modulo a small prime
Daryl Cooper, Darren D. Long
Abstract
We discuss techniques for analysing the structure of the group obtained by reducing the image of the Burau representation of the braid group modulo a prime. The main tools are a certain sesquilinear form first introduced by Squier and consideration of the action of the group on a Euclidean building.
