Abstract
Let be the Artin braid group on strings with standard generators , and let be the singular braid monoid with generators . The desingularization map is the multiplicative homomorphism defined by and , for . The purpose of the present paper is to prove Birman’s conjecture, namely, that the desingularization map is injective.
