Good morning,

The Arithmetic Seminar tomorrow will have a talk by Inna Sysoeva on
irreducible representations of braid groups. The details are below.

Date and Time: Tuesday, 10/15, 4:15-5:15 pm

Place: 100E Whitney Hall

Speaker: Inna Sysoeva (Pittsburgh)

Title: Irreducible representations of braid groups

Abstract: In this talk I'm going to discuss the classification of the
irreducible representations of Artin braid group $B_n$ on $n$ strings. All
irreducible representations of $B_n$ of dimension  less or equal to $n-1$
were classified by Ed Formanek in 1996; the irreducible representations of
$B_n$ dimension  $n$ for $n\geq 9$ were classified by the speaker in 1999,
and for $n\leq 8$ they were classified by Formanek, Lee, Vazirani and the
speaker in 2003. \\ I will give the overview of the known results,  and I
will talk about the work in progress aimed to classify all the irreducible
representations of $B_n$ of dimension less or equal than $2n-9$ for $n\geq
10.$
