Recently V.Drinfeld formulated a number of problems in quantum group theory. In particular, he suggested to consider ``set-theoretical'' solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, i.e. solutions given by a permutation $R$ of the set…

We study noninvolutive set-theoretic solutions $(X,r)$ of the Yang-Baxter equations in terms of the properties of the canonically associated algebraic objects-the braided monoid $S(X,r)$, the quadratic Yang-Baxter algebra $A= A(\textbf{k},…

We study involutive non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions (X,r) of the Yang-Baxter equation on a finite set X. The emphasis is on the case where (X,r) is indecomposable, so the associated permutation group acts transitively on X. One of…
