Khovanov-Seidel braid representation

Representation Theory 2024-05-24 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

These are lecture notes from a lecture series given at CIRM in the Fall 2023. They give a down-to-earth introduction to Khovanov and Seidel's categorical representation of Artin-Tits groups, emphasizing the fact that it is all explicitly computable. Several prospective applications to (geometric) group theory are mentioned.
