Braid-group homomorphisms from the matrices 1 - u ⊗ v #
This file constructs a braid-group homomorphism into GL from a family of rank-one perturbations
of the identity 1 - vecMulVec (u i) (v i), indexed by the elementary braids, whose pairings have
the values occurring in the Burau representation. The calculus of a single such matrix, or of a
pair of them, is in TauCeti/LinearAlgebra/Matrix/OneSubVecMulVec.lean; the braid relation in the
form indexed by adjacent elementary braids is here, since it is the generator adjacency of
Fin (n - 1) that it is phrased in.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.KnotTheory.braidHomOfOneSubVecMulVec: the braid-group homomorphism intoGLdefined by a family with the Burau pairings.

TauCeti.KnotTheory.one_sub_vecMulVec_braid_of_adjacent: the braid relation for two adjacent members of such a family.TauCeti.KnotTheory.det_braidHomOfOneSubVecMulVec: the determinant character of the homomorphism.
The braid relation for two members of a family of rank-one perturbations of the identity indexed by adjacent elementary braids, in the symmetric form: the two possible adjacency orders are covered at once.
The braid-group homomorphism into GL associated to a family of rank-one perturbations of the
identity with the Burau pairings.
