Abstract

We consider the Burau and Gassner representations of the braid groups B(n). A sufficient condition for faithfulness, involving just a pair of arcs, is shown to be necessary as well for all but at most two values of n. In the Burau case, this implies nonfaithfulness for n greater-than-or-equal-to 10.
