2. Parity

    1. Problem 2.1.

      Call a braid \beta parity if HHH(\beta) is parity. Find necessary and/or sufficient conditions for a braid to be parity.

      Are there operations on braids (for example, adding a positive number of full twists) which transform it into a parity braid or which preserve parity braids?
        • Problem 2.2.

          Are algebraic braids parity? If so find a (recursive) formula for HHH of an algebraic braid.
            • Problem 2.3.

              There is a commutative family of braids built as products of FT_k, the full twist on the first k strands, for k \leq n. Are the positive products in this family parity? If so, find a (recursive) formula for HHH.
                • Problem 2.4.

                  In the presence of parity, there are two combinatorial formulas for HHH: one for localization of Hilbert schemes from the GNR conjecture and one from the Elias-Hogencamp-Mellit papers. How are these formulas related? How are they related to Demazure crystals?
