- catalog abstract ""The aim of this book is to present recently discovered connections between Artin's braid groups and left self-distributive systems, which are sets equipped with a binary operation satisfying the x(yz) = (xy)(xz). Order properties are crucial." "The text proposes a first synthesis of this area of research. Three domains are considered here, namely braids, self-distributive systems, and set theory. Although not a comprehensive course on these subjects, the exposition is self-contained, and a number of basic results are established. In particular, the first chapters include a rather complete algebraic study of Artin's braid groups."--BOOK JACKET.".
