Abstract:
The theory of pseudocharacters of Artin's braid groups is developed. A family of operators in the spaces of pseudocharacters of braid groups is introduced and studied, techniques for constructing new pseudocharacters for braid groups are described, and the structure of the space of pseudocharacters of the braid group is investigated.
