INTRODUCTION Singularities and braids are related in many ways. I decided to concentrate on one aspect of these relations, namely the Coxeter diagrams. These are invariants of singularities which are obtained by the classical theory of Picard and Lefschetz. The braid groups Bn operate on the set of diagrams with n vertices, and the invariant associated to a singularity is an orbit of diagrams.When preparing this survey, I found an extremely simple concept unifying many investigations on this subject as well as classical results of E. Artin and A. Hurwitz and W. Magnus. This is the notion of an automorphic set. An automorphic set is a set▲ with a product such that all left translations b→ ab are automorphisms. If▲ is an automorphic set, there is a canonical operation of the braid group B on for any natural number n. n
