Groups and Geometries
Braid groups are algebraic structures that capture the properties of braids, which are defined by strands intertwining in a plane. They are important in topology and have applications in various areas including algebra, geometry, and mathematical physics. Braid groups provide a way to study the interactions between these strands and their transformations, connecting them to knot theory and geometric group theory.
