Let $WB_n'$ be the commutator subgroup of welded (or loop) braid group on n strands. We prove that $WB_n'$ is Hopfian and for $n \\geq 5$, it is perfect. We compute finite presentations for commutator subgroups of flat virtual and flat welded braid groups. We also investigate adorability of these groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-12T18:49:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F36", "20F12" ], "keywords": [ "commutator subgroup", "flat welded braid groups", "generalized braid groups", "finite presentations", "flat virtual" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
