Abstract

We introduce a new point of view to present classical notions related to set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation: left skew braces, dirings, left skew rings. The idea is to replace the single multiplication on a left near-ring by two operations, one associative and the other left distributive. Two algebraic structures naturally appear: left skew rings and left weak rings, whose categories turn out to be canonically isomorphic.
