(Almost)-crystallographic quotients of Artin and surface braid groups and their finite subgroups.

Abstract: We discuss some recent results regarding quotients of Artin and surface braid groups by elements of the lower central series of the corresponding pure braid group, and the embedding of finite groups in these quotients. This is joint work with D. L. Gonçalves, O. Ocampo and C. Pereiro.
