DESCRIPTION:Braid groups have a representation theory of wild type\, in th
 e sense that there is no known classification schema. Lawrence and Bigelow
  constructed representations of the braid group on n strands using the con
 figuration space of m points of a n-punctured disc: namely\, the braid gro
 up acts on the m-th homology group of a particular covering of the configu
 ration space. There is actually an underlying general method to build such
  homological representations. I will present these methods in this talk.
