Hence, it makes sense
to call Q the non-commutative normal space to the isomorphism problem in

alt='\mathbf{rep}~\Gamma' />. Moreover, under this correspondence simple
representations of Q (for which both the dimension vectors and
distinguishing characters are known explicitly) correspond to simple
solutions in src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/

give a solution of size
n to the braid relation. Moreover, such a solution can be simple only if
the following numerical relations are satisfied

src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/
740c53ea0fbc3afa50a1b90cfa7ea2cf.gif' title='g_i \leq g_{i-1} + g_{i+1}'
alt='g_i \leq g_{i-1} + g_{i+1}' />

where indices are viewed
modulo 6. In fact, if these conditions are satisfied then a sufficiently
general representation of Q does determine a simple solution in src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/
5b054112bf1f88f61b7d34e3e4ce0c7e.gif' title='\mathbf{rep}~B_3'
alt='\mathbf{rep}~B_3' /> and conversely, any sufficiently general simple n
size solution of the braid relation can be conjugated to one of the
above form. Here, by sufficiently general we mean a Zariski open (hence
dense) subset.

That is, for all integers n we have constructed
nearly all (meaning a dense subset) simple solutions to the braid
relation. As to the classification problem, if we have representants of
simple src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/
b0603860fcffe94e5b8eec59ed813421.gif' title='\beta' alt='\beta'
/>-dimensional representations of the quiver Q, then the corresponding
solutions src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/
f00acce613318349cb04ab296486fc11.gif' title='(X,Y)' alt='(X,Y)' /> of
the braid relation represent different orbits (up to finite overlap
coming from the fact that our linearizations only give an analytic
isomorphism, or in algebraic terms, an etale map). Such representants
can be constructed for low dimensional src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/
b0603860fcffe94e5b8eec59ed813421.gif' title='\beta' alt='\beta' />.
Finally, our approach also indicates why the classification of
braid-relation solutions of size src='http://www.math.ua.ac.be/~lebruyn/latexrender/pictures/
0ad4dcd2bcf969a27df1a7a9f46947eb.gif' title='\leq 5' alt='\leq 5' /> is
easier : from size 6 on there are new classes of simple
Q-representations given by going round the whole six-cycle!
