Abstract: Given a framed link, paths in the link complement generate a non-commutative algebra as a link invariant, named the framed cord algebra. Augmentations are rank one representations of this algebra. We demonstrate how to construct a representation of the link group from an augmentation, and explain the story from symplectic geometry behind the construction.
