A simpler braid description for all links in the 3-sphere
By Alexander's theorem, every link in the 3-sphere can be represented as the closure of a braid. Lorenz links and twisted torus links are two families that have been extensively studied and are well-described in terms of braids. In this talk, we will present a natural generalization of Lorenz links and twisted torus links that produces all links in the 3-sphere. This provides a simpler braid description for all links in the 3-sphere.
