The Kauffman Bracket of Infinite Braids
by
Michael Willis
University of Virginia
Coauthors: Gabriel Islambouli Slava Krushkal

It has been known for some time that the (unnormalized) Kauffman bracket of an `infinite torus braid' stabilizes to give a power series representation of the Jones-Wenzl Projector in the relevant Temperley-Lieb Algebra. I will discuss a generalization of this result to iterated limits of other braids.
