Abstract

In this paper, we obtain Gröbner–Shirshov (non-commutative Gröbner) bases for braid groups in the Birman–Ko–Lee generators enriched by “Garside word” δ [J. Birman, K.H. Ko, S.J. Lee, A new approach to the word and conjugacy problems for the braid groups, Adv. Math. 139 (1998) 322–353]. It gives a new algorithm for getting the Birman–Ko–Lee normal forms in braid groups, and thus a new algorithm for solving the word problem in these groups.
