## Monodromy representations of braid groups and Yang-Baxter equations.(English)Zbl 0634.58040

Motivated by the two-dimensional conformal field theory with gauge symmetry, we study the monodromy of the integrable connections associated with the simple Lie algebras. This gives a series of linear representations of the braid group whose explicit form is described by solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation.
