  V.V. Sharko in his papers and books has investigated functions on manifolds
and cobordism. Braids intimately connect with functions on manifolds. These
connections are represented by mapping class groups of corresponding discs, by
fundamental groups of corresponding punctured discs, and by some other
topological or algebraic structures. This paper presents selected algebraic
methods and results of braids, links, cobordism connect with investigations by
V.V. Sharko. These includes group theoretic results on braids and links,
infinitesimal braid group relations and connections as well as connections on
coherent sheaves on smooth schemes, a sketch of our algorithm for constructing
of Lazard`s one dimensional universal commutative formal group and selected
results on applications of commutative formal groups to cobordism theory.
