Braids in Pau – an introduction. (Tresses à Pau – une introduction.) (English. French summary) Zbl 1214.14001
Summary: We describe the historic links between the study of three-dimensional manifolds (specially knot theory) and the study of the topology of complex plane curves with a particular attention to the role of braid groups and Alexander-like invariants (torsions, different instances of Alexander polynomials). We finish with detailed computations in an example.
