The study of the integrability properties of the N=2 Landau- Ginzburg models leads naturally to a graph generalization of the Yang-Baxter equation which synthetizes the well known vertex and RSOS Yang-Baxter equations. A non trivial…
A generalization of the Yang-Baxter algebra is found in quantizing the monodromy matrix of two (m)KdV equations discretized on a space lattice. This braided Yang-Baxter equation still ensures that the transfer matrix generates operators in…
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…
A new formulation of the Yang-Mills theory which allows a manifestly covariant gauge fixing accompanied by a gauge invariant ghost field interaction is proposed. The gauge condition selects a unique representative in the class of gauge…
Gauge theories have been a cornerstone of the description of the world at the level of the fundamental particles. The Lagrangian or the action describing the corresponding interactions is invariant under certain gauge transformations. This…
Starting from the observation that in Yang-Mills theory the Schroedinger state functional in the momentum representation is not gauge invariant, we investigate the reversed question: Which are the representations for the operators of a…
Reductions for systems of ODEs integrable via the standard factorization method (the Adler-Kostant-Symes scheme) or the generalized factorization method, developed by the authors earlier, are considered. Relationships between such…
We construct a hyperbolic modular double -- an algebra lying in between the Faddeev modular double for $U_q(sl_2)$ and the elliptic modular double. The intertwining operator for this algebra leads to an integral operator solution of the…
Several aspects of relations between braces and non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation are discussed and many consequences are derived. In particular, for each positive integer $n$ a finite square-free…
In a previous publication [1], local gauge invariant geometric variables were introduced to describe the physical Hilbert space of Yang-Mills theory. In these variables, the electric energy involves the inverse of an operator which can…
It is shown that square free set theoretic involutive non-degenerate solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation whose associated permutation group (referred to as an involutive Yang-Baxter group) is abelian are retractable in the sense of…
In the first part of this paper, we investigate the retraction of finite uniconnected involutive non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation by means of left braces, giving a precise description in some cases. In the…
We reinterpret the Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing procedure of Yang-Mills theories as the definition of a topological quantum field theory for gauge group elements depending on a background connection. This has the advantage of relating…
We construct explicit BPS and non-BPS solutions of the Yang-Mills equations on noncommutative spaces R^{2n}_theta x G/H which are manifestly G-symmetric. Given a G-representation, by twisting with a particular bundle over G/H, we obtain a…
We suggest an extension of the gauge principle which includes tensor gauge fields. In this extension of the Yang-Mills theory the vector gauge boson becomes a member of a bigger family of gauge bosons of arbitrary large integer spins. The…
Many of the known solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, which are related to solvable lattice models of vertex- and IRF-type, yield representations of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra. From these, representations of a two-colour…
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…
Lagrangian descriptions of irreducible and reducible integer higher-spin representations of the Poincare group subject to a Young tableaux $Y[\hat{s}_1,\hat{s}_2]$ with two columns are constructed within a metric-like formulation in a…
In 1992 Drinfeld posed the question of finding the set theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Recently, Gateva-Ivanova and Van den Bergh and Etingof, Schedler and Soloviev have shown a group theoretical interpretation of…
We construct a universal Vertex-IRF transformation between Vertex type universal solution and Face type universal solution of the quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation. This universal Vertex-IRF transformation satisfies the generalized…
