To study the stability of Browder type fixed points, two kinds of usual metrics for set-valued mappings are discussed. Noting that the set of fixed points for a Browder type set-valued mapping may be noncompact, a metric is introduced to construct a complete metric space on a kin...

We consider Tuba’s representation of the pure braid group, P3, defined by the map Ψ: P3 → GL(V ), where V is an algebraically closed field. We then specialize the indeterminates used in defining the representation to non- zero complex numbers. Our objective is to find necessary a...
