Surface braid groups

This project explored the solution to the word problem of braids over the 2-sphere as presented in [15, Theorem 3.1], in the hopes that it can be related to Brunnian braids and homotopy groups of spheres as introduced via the exact sequence in [10, Theorem 1.2]. It describes the process of Artin com...
