Braids and braid groups have been at the heart of important mathematical developments over the last two decades. Introduced to the field of mathematics by Artin in the 1920 s, their association with permutations has led to their presence in a number of mathematical fields and even physics. They form central objects in knot theory and three-dimensional topology and have led to the creation of a new field called quantum topology. Important results related to their linearity and orderability have fostered a lot of mathematical activity. Braids and braid groups form the central topic of this text. The authors begin with an introduction to the basic theory highlighting the several definitions of braid groups and showing their equivalence. The relationship between braids, knots and links is then investigated. Recent developments in this field follow next, with a focus on the linearity and orderability of braid groups. This excellent presentation is motivated by numerous examples and problems. Five elaborate appendices containing additional relevant material complete the text. Based on lectures given by the authors at the Bourbaki Seminar and in a graduate course, this well-written book is ideal for graduate students and all mathematicians that would like to be introduced to the fascinating world of braids and braid groups.
