In this article, we consider a generalization of Young tableaux in which we allow some consecutive pairs of cells with decreasing labels. We show that this leads to a rich variety of combinatorial formulas, which suggest that these new…
We find a method to construct iteratively from a non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation an infinite family of very large non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions. In case the initial solution…
The precise relationship between the arbitrary monodromy dependent 2-form appearing in the chiral WZNW symplectic form and the `exchange r-matrix' that governs the corresponding Poisson brackets is established. Generalizing earlier results…
The Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) and the reflection equation (RE) both come from mathematical physics, and they can be defined in any monoidal category. For cartesian monoidal categories, we prove that every solution to the RE provides a…
We introduce triples of associative algebras as a tool for building solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. It turns out that the class of R-matrices thus obtained is related to a Hecke-like condition, which is formulated for associative…
We develop the theory of meta-iteration trees, that is, iteration trees whose base "model" is itself an ordinary iteration tree. We prove a comparison theorem for meta-iteration strategies parallel to the one for ordinary iteration…
Braces were introduced by Rump as a promising tool in the study of the set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. It has been recently proved that, given a left brace $B$, one can construct explicitly all the non-degenerate…
We present a compact formula for the complete tree-level S-matrix of pure Yang-Mills and gravity theories in arbitrary spacetime dimension. The new formula for the scattering of n particles is given by an integral over the position of n…
We extend the theory of distributive series of monads of \cite{EC1} by extending the definition to include an $\bN$-indexed collection of monads. Under certain conditions, distributive series of monads will have a colimit in the category of…
Graded modal logics generalise standard modal logics via families of modalities indexed by an algebraic structure whose operations mediate between the different modalities. The graded "of-course" modality $!_r$ captures how many times a…
We introduce the special set-theoretic Yang-Baxter algebra and show that it is a Hopf algebra subject to certain conditions. The associated universal R-matrix is also obtained via an admissible Drinfel'd twist. The structure of braces…
Game comonads have brought forth a new approach to studying finite model theory categorically. By representing model comparison games semantically as comonads, they allow important logical and combinatorial properties to be exressed in…
We prove several combinatorial results on path algebras over discrete structures related to directed graphs. These results are motivated by Morse theory on a manifold with boundary and, more generally, by Floer theory on a configuration…
We present a method to construct infinite families of entangling $2$-qudit gates, and amongst them entangling $2$-qudit gates which satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation. We show that, given $2$-qudit gates $c$ and $d$, if $c$ or $d$ is…
We characterize the generating function of bipartite planar maps counted according to the degree distribution of their black and white vertices. This result is applied to the solution of the hard particle and Ising models on random planar…
The McCarty Conjecture states that any McCarty Matrix (an $n\times n$ matrix $A$ with positive integer entries and each of the $2n$ row and column sums equal to $n$), can be additively decomposed into two other matrices, $B$ and $C$, such…
Biquandles are algebraic objects with two binary operations whose axioms encode the generalized Reidemeister moves for virtual knots and links. These objects also provide set-theoretic solutions of the well-known Yang-Baxter equation. The…
We construct the Lax-pair, the classical monodromy matrix and the corresponding solution of the Yang--Baxter equation, for a two-parameter deformation of the Principal chiral model for a simple group. This deformation includes as a…
We present a method of constructing monoidal, braided monoidal, and symmetric monoidal bicategories from corresponding types of monoidal double categories that satisfy a lifting condition. Many important monoidal bicategories arise…
It is shown how Yang-Baxter maps may be directly obtained from classical counterparts of the star-triangle relations and quantum Yang-Baxter equations. This is based on reinterpreting the latter equation and its solutions which are given in…
