Titre : | Braid groups | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs : | Christian KASSEL, Auteur ; Vladimir TURAEV, Auteur | Editeur : | New York : Springer-Verlag | Année de publication : | cop. 2010 | Collection : | Graduate Texts in Mathematics, ISSN 0072-5285 num. 247 | Importance : | XI-340 p. | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Catégories : | 06F15 20F36 37E30 57M25
| Mots-clés : | groupe de tresses | Résumé : | Braids and braid groups have been at the heart of mathematical development over the last two decades. Braids play an important role in diverse areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. The special beauty of the theory of braids stems from their attractive geometric nature and their close relations to other fundamental geometric objects, such as knots, links, mapping class groups of surfaces, and configuration spaces.
In this presentation the authors thoroughly examine various aspects of the theory of braids, starting from basic definitions and then moving to more recent results. | Note de contenu : | index, références |
