Conjugacy in braid groups and the LKB representation, and Bessis-Garside groups of rank 3

In the first part of this thesis, we give a survey of the conjugacy problem in the braid group, describing the solution provided by Garside theory, and outlining the progress that has been made towards a polynomial time solution in recent years using refinements of Garside's solution, and the T...
