Abstract

We present a generalization of the Dehornoy-Brin braided Thompson group BV2 that uses recursive braids. Our new groups are denoted by BVn,r(H), for all n≥2,r≥1 and H≤Bn, where Bn is the braid group on n strands. We give a new approach to deal with braided Thompson groups by using strand diagrams. We show that BVn,r(H) is finitely generated if H is finitely generated.
