The virtual singular twin monoid and group: presentations and representations

In this article, we introduce the algebraic definitions and presentations of the virtual singular twin monoid and virtual singular twin group, denoted by $VSTM_n$ and $VST_n$, respectively, for a positive integer $n$. These structures extend the twin group $T_n$ in close analogy to how the virtual singular braid monoid and virtual singular braid group extend the classical braid group. We then construct and study representations of the group $VST_n$, for $n \geq 3$, focusing in particular on extending the representations $η_1$ and $η_2$ of $T_n$, introduced by M. Nasser, to $VST_n$ via the $2$-local extension method. To analyze the resulting representations, $η_1'$ and $η_2'$, and their properties, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for irreducibility and show that both $η_1'$ and $η_2'$ are unfaithful. Additionally, we classify all complex homogeneous $2$-local representations of $VST_n$ for every integer $n\geq 3$, providing a foundation for further investigation into representations of $VST_n$.
