Abstract:
We discuss groups corresponding to Kohno Lie algebra of infinitesimal braids and actions of such groups. We construct homomorphisms of Lie braid groups to the group of symplectomorphisms of the space of point configurations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and to groups of symplectomorphisms of coadjoint orbits of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$.
Key words and phrases:Braid groups, enveloping algebras, Malcev completion, Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov connections, polygonal curves.
