How do I show that these two presentations are isomorphic?

298 Views Asked by At

I'm taking algebraic topology this year and my professor assigned a class an exercise, and he told that the exercise will be on a coming exam.

The exercise is:

Show that $(x,y|xyx=yxy)\cong (a,b|a^2=b^3)$.

I googled it and I found this type of group is called "the Braid group".

How do I show those two presentations are isomorphic?

I asked my professor today that "Do you mean to find an explicit isomorphism between them?". Then, my professor said Yes.

How do I show they are isomorphic?

I have no idea whether there is an relatively easy way to show that..

Please help
