Title: Elements of braided geometry and their applications

<p>

Abstract:

 By braided geometry one means a type of geometry
 related to a braiding, in particular that coming from a
 quantum group.  Consequently, some basic
 notions of usual geometry and algebra (trace, Lie algebra,
 vector field)  become "braided".  In my talk I plan to  introduce
 these braided objects and operators (related to braidings of
 Hecke type)and explain their possible applications to
 dynamical models. Also, I'll motivate interest in
 braided geometry by its relations with quantization problem
 of some classical structures.
