Abstract
A braid defines a link which has a signature. This defines a map from the braid group to the integers which is not a homomorphism. We relate the homomorphism defect of this map to Meyer cocycle and Maslov class. We give some information about the global geometry of the gordian metric space. © Société Mathématique de France.
