| Abstract |
Braids are one of among many charming parts of Low Dimensional Topology. Braids groups first appeared in some agreeable coated form in an article of Adolf Hurwitz in 1891, those were used for complex results about surface coverings. It was Emil Artin, who explicitly introduced Braids in 1920s to construct such topological objects modeling connection of several strings in Euclidean 3-space. In this talk I will define Braids, geometrically and algebraically (The Artin Braid Group), explaining their equivalence, Markov Equivalence and Markov moves. I will tell relation of Braids with Configuration spaces, Knots and describe an important construction of Braids to view as group of automorphisms.
