摘要
We construct a homomorphism f from the braid group B2n+2 on 2n + 2 strands to the Steinberg group St(Cn, 71) associated with the Lie type Cn and with integer coefficients. This homomorphism lifts the well-known symplectic representation (aka the integral Burau representation) of the braid group. We also describe the image and the kernel of f .
