A Lagrangian representation of tangles

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

We construct a functor from the category of oriented tangles in R^3 to the category of Hermitian modules and Lagrangian relations over Z[t,t^{-1}]. This functor extends the Burau representations of the braid groups and its generalization to string links due to Le Dimet.
