Resumen de The classification of Wada-type representations of braid groups

Tetsuya Ito

• Westudy a variant of the set-theoretical Yang�Baxter equation adapted to the free-product group structure, and give a classification of Wada-type representations of the braid groups.

  In particular, we prove Wada�s conjecture: There are only seven types of Wada-type representation up to certain natural symmetries.
