  2. Braid group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_group

    The composition of the braids σ and τ is written as στ.. The set of all braids on four strands is denoted by .The above composition of braids is indeed a group operation. . The identity element is the braid consisting of four parallel horizontal strands, and the inverse of a braid consists of that braid which "undoes" whatever the first braid did, which is obtained by flipping a diagram ...

  3. Collective mental state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_mental_state

    When a mental state is shared by a large proportion of the members of a group or society, it can be called a collective mental state. Gustave Le Bon proposed that mental states are passed by contagion, while Sigmund Freud wrote of war fever in his work Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1922), a perfect example of the collective ...

  5. Collective identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_identity

    Collective identity or group identity is a shared sense of belonging to a group. This concept appears within a few social science fields. National identity is a simple example, though myriad groups exist which share a sense of identity. Like many social concepts or phenomena, it is constructed, not empirically defined.

  6. Artin–Tits group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artin–Tits_group

    They are closely related with Coxeter groups. Examples are free groups, free abelian groups, braid groups, and right-angled Artin–Tits groups, among others. The groups are named after Emil Artin, due to his early work on braid groups in the 1920s to 1940s, [1] and Jacques Tits who developed the theory of a more general class of groups in the ...

  7. Types of social groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_Social_Groups

    A reference group can be either from a membership group or non-membership group. An example of a reference group being used would be the determination of affluence. An individual in the U.S. with an annual income of $80,000, may consider themself affluent if they compare themself to those in the middle of the income strata, who earn roughly ...

  8. Dehornoy order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehornoy_order

    In the mathematical area of braid theory, the Dehornoy order is a left-invariant total order on the braid group, found by Patrick Dehornoy. [1] [2] Dehornoy's original discovery of the order on the braid group used huge cardinals, but there are now several more elementary constructions of it. [3]

  9. Braided monoidal category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braided_monoidal_category

    A braided monoidal category is a monoidal category equipped with a braiding—that is, a commutativity constraint that satisfies axioms including the hexagon identities defined below. The term braided references the fact that the braid group plays an important role in the theory of braided monoidal categories.
