DESCRIPTION:Ismar Volic (Wellesley)\nIn this talk\, I will explain how thr
 ee integration techniques for producing cohomology — Chen integrals for 
 loop spaces\, Bott-Taubes integrals for knots and links\, and Kontsevich i
 ntegrals for configuration spaces — come together in the computation of 
 the cohomology of spaces of braids.  The relationship between various int
 egrals is encoded by certain graph complexes.  I will also talk about the
  generalizations to other spaces of maps into configuration spaces (of whi
 ch braids are an example)\, and this will lead to connections to spaces of
  link maps and\, from there\, to manifold caclulus of functors.  This is 
 joint work with Rafal Komendarczyk and Robin Koytcheff.
