Abstract

We show that every finite non-degenerate set theoretical solution to the YBE whose retraction is a flip linearizes to a twist of the flip solution by roots of unity. This generalizes a result of Gateva-Ivanova and Majid. To prove the result we use a new invariant associated to a solution, its Lie algebra. We show also that a solution retracts to a flip solution if and only if its Lie algebra is abelian.
