Abstract:

In terms of Dehornoy’s ordering on the braid group ${\mathcal B}_n$, restrictions are found that prevent us from performing the Markov destabilization and the Birman–Menasco braid moves. As a consequence, a sufficient condition is obtained for the link represented by a braid to be prime, and it is shown that all braids in ${\mathcal B}_n$ that are not minimal lie in a finite interval of Dehornoy’s ordering.
