  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_braids

    Box braids are a type of hair-braiding style that is predominantly popular among African people and the African diaspora. This type of hairstyle is a "protective style" (a style which can be worn for a long period of time to let natural hair grow and protect the ends of the hair) and is "boxy", consisting of square-shaped hair divisions.

    Braids, Links, and Mapping Class Groups is a mathematical monograph on braid groups and their applications in low-dimensional topology.It was written by Joan Birman, based on lecture notes by James W. Cannon, [1] and published in 1974 by the Princeton University Press and University of Tokyo Press, as volume 82 of the book series Annals of Mathematics Studies.

  5. Spin representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_representation

    Spin representations can be analysed according to the following strategy: if S is a real spin representation of Spin(p, q), then its complexification is a complex spin representation of Spin(p, q); as a representation of so(p, q), it therefore extends to a complex representation of so(n, C).

  6. Braid (hairstyle) - Wikipedia

    Knotless Braids: A variation of box braids, starting with natural hair and gradually adding extensions, reducing scalp tension.Knotless braids do not include the knots. Crochet braids: Extensions are crocheted into cornrowed natural hair, offering a variety of styling options. French braid: A classic braid where hair is braided in three strands ...

  7. Temperley–Lieb algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperley–Lieb_algebra

    The diagram algebra for () is deduced from the diagram algebra for () by turning rectangles into cylinders. The algebra a T L n ( δ ) {\displaystyle aTL_{n}(\delta )} is infinite-dimensional because lines can wind around the cylinder.

  8. Metal spinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_spinning

    Metal spinning, also known as spin forming or spinning or metal turning most commonly, is a metalworking process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part. [1] Spinning can be performed by hand or by a CNC lathe.

  9. Braiding machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braiding_machine

    1925 braiding machine in action The smallest braiding machine consists of two horn gears and three bobbins. This produces a flat, 3-strand braid. A braiding machine is a device that interlaces three or more strands of yarn or wire to create a variety of materials, including rope, reinforced hose, covered power cords, and some types of lace.
