Abstract
The infinite braid group B-infinity admits a left self-distributive structu re. In particular, it includes a free monogenerated left self-distributive system, and, therefore, it inherits all properties of the latter object. He re we discuss how such algebraic properties translate into the language of braids. We state new results about braids and propose a list of open questi ons.
