We also introduce invariants of positive braids which are derived from the OU matrix.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-10-23T11:30:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "determinant", "ou matrix reflects", "layered braid diagram", "warping degree", "layeredness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
