We define an annular concordance invariant and study its properties. When specialized to braids, this invariant gives bounds on band rank. We introduce a modified chain complex to reformulate the invariant. Then, by focusing on a special…
The main aim of this paper is to provide set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation that are not necessarily bijective, among these new idempotent ones. In the specific, we draw on both to the classical theory of inverse…
We develop several applications of the fact that the Yokonuma--Hecke algebra of the general linear group GL is isomorphic to a direct sum of matrix algebras associated to Iwahori--Hecke algebras of type A. This includes a description of the…
The Alexander theorem (1923) and the Markov theorem (1936) are two classical results in knot theory that show respectively that every link is the closure of a braid and that braids that have the same closure are related by a finite number…
Solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation - an important equation in mathematics and physics - and their afforded braid group representations have applications in fields such as knot theory, statistical mechanics, and, most recently, quantum…
Left-Alia algebras are a class of algebras with symmetric Jacobi identities. They contain several typical types of algebras as subclasses, and are closely related to the invariant theory. In this paper, we study the construction theory of…
We construct solutions to the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation using braid group representations in free group automorphisms and their Fox differentials. The method resembles the extensions of groups and quandles.
We study solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation on a tensor product of an arbitrary finite-dimensional and an arbitrary infinite-dimensional representations of the rank one symmetry algebra. We consider the cases of the Lie algebra sl_2, the…
We present a method to construct "X" form unitary Yang-Baxter $\breve{R}$ matrices, which act on the tensor product space $V_{i}^{j_{1}}\otimes V_{i+1}^{j_{2}}$. We can obtain a set of entangled states for $(2j_{1}+1)\times…
Let G be a Lie group with Lie algebra $ \Cal G: = T_\epsilon G$ and $T^*G = \Cal G^* \rtimes G$ its cotangent bundle considered as a Lie group, where G acts on $\Cal G^*$ via the coadjoint action. We show that there is a 1-1 correspondance…
Solutions to the twisted Yang-Baxter equation, arising from intertwiners for cyclic representations of $U_q(\widehat{sl}_n)$ are described via two coupled the lattice current algebras.
In this paper we present reducible representation of the $n^{2}$ braid group representation which is constructed on the tensor product of n-dimensional spaces. By some combining methods we can construct more arbitrary $n^{2}$ dimensional…
In this letter we construct ${\rm GL}_{NM}$-valued dynamical $R$-matrix by means of unitary skew-symmetric solution of the associative Yang-Baxter equation in the fundamental representation of ${\rm GL}_{N}$. In $N=1$ case the obtained…
We describe several methods of constructing R-matrices that are dependent upon many parameters, for example unitary R-matrices and R-matrices whose entries are functions. As an application, we construct examples of R-matrices with…
We produce novel non-involutive solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation coming from (skew) braces. These solutions are generalisations of the known ones coming from braces and skew braces, and surprisingly in the case of braces they are not…
The paper extends the notion of braided set and its close relative - the Yang-Baxter set - to the category of vector spaces and explore structure aspects of such a notion as morphisms and extensions. In this way we describe a family of…
The problem of constructing all the non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation recently has been reduced to the problem of describing all the left braces. In particular, the classification of all finite…
We propose a gauge model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its nonabelian generalization from which we derive knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. Our approach is inspired by the work of Witten who derived knot invariants from…
We produce a facial state sum on plane diagrams of a knot or a link which admits an invariant specialization under Polyak's recent set of generating of 4 Reidemeister moves. Thus an isotopy invariant of framed links is obtained. Each state…
The formal derivatives of the Yang-Baxter equation with respect to its spectral parameters, evaluated at some fixed point of these parameters, provide us with two systems of differential equations. The derivatives of the $R$ matrix…
