Elements of Braided Geometry

By Braided Geometry one means that related to a braiding, i.e. a solution of Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation. Many notions of classical and super-geometry can be naturally generalized in the frameworks of Braided Geometry. I shall discuss braided analogs of (super-)traces, Lie (super-) algebras, (super-)vector fields etc. Also, I plan to present recent results concerning braided analogs of orbits in gl(n)* and to explain how a quantization of certain Poisson brackets gives rise to braided objects.
