Abstract
We study braided embeddings, which is a natural generalization of closed braids in three dimensions. Braided embeddings give us an explicit way to construct lots of higher dimensional embeddings; and may turn out to be as instrumental in understanding higher dimensional embeddings as closed braids have been in understanding three and four dimensional topology. We will discuss two natural questions related to braided embeddings, the isotopy and lifting problem.
