A quotient of the Artin braid group related to crystallographic groups
Artin braid groups, Conjugacy classes, Crystallographic group
Let $n\ge 3$. We studied the quotient group $B_n/[P_n, P_n]$ from the Artin braid group $B_n$ by the commutator subgroup of the Artin pure braid group $P_n$. The group $B_n/[P_n, P_n]$ is a crystallographic group that has no even-order element and has infinite elements of odd order. We also showed that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the conjugacy classes of finite odd-order elements of $B_n/[P_n,P_n]$ with the the conjugacy classes of finite odd-order elements of the symmetric group $S_n$ and we realized the abelian subgroups of odd order of $S_n$ in $B_n/[P_n,P_n]$. In the case of $n=3$ we studied crystallographic subgroups of $B_3/[P_3, P_3]$ of dimension $3$. In this work we used as a main reference Gonçalves, Guaschi and Ocampo (2017). In addition to what was done in [Gonçalves, Guaschi and Ocampo 2017] , we studied the conjugacy classes of infinite order elements in $B_3/[P_3, P_3]$ and the Coxeter's quotient in $B_n/[P_n, P_n]$.
