Given a braid b ∈ B2n we can produce a link by joining consecutive pairs of strings at the top, forming caps, and at the bottom, forming cups. This link is called the plat closure of b. The set of all braids that fix the caps form a subgroup H2n and the plat closure of a braid is unchanged after mul...
