They form a large a nd diverse collection of groups which include braid groups\, free groups\, free abelian groups and many more. While some classes of Artin groups are well understood\, many remain mysterious\, with even very basic questions unanswered. In this talk I will review what is known and not known\, then discuss some geometric techniques for studying these groups.\n DTSTART:20181004T200000Z DTEND:20181004T210000Z LOCATION:Room 1214\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Ruth Charney\, Brandeis University URL:/mathstat/channels/event/ruth-charney-brandeis-uni versity-290204 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
