In this paper, we analyze the homology of the Yang-Baxter Operators $R_{(m)}$ yielding the HOMFLYPT polynomial, reducing the computation of the $n$-th homology of $R_{(m)}$ for arbitrary $m$ to the computation of $n+1$ initial conditions.…
Relative Rota-Baxter groups are generalisations of Rota-Baxter groups and recently shown to be intimately related to skew left braces, which are well-known to yield bijective non-degenerate solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. In this…
New set-theoretical solutions to the Yang-Baxter Relation are constructed. These solutions arise from the decompositions "in different order" of matrix polynomials and $\theta$-functions. We also construct a "local action of the symmetric…
We develop a new approach to Baxter Q-operators by relating them to the theory of Yangians, which are the simplest examples for quantum groups. Here we open up a new chapter in this theory and study certain degenerate solutions of the…
Let $k$ be a field and $X$ be a set of $n$ elements. We introduce and study a class of quadratic $k$-algebras called \emph{quantum binomial algebras}. Our main result shows that such an algebra $A$ defines a solution of the classical…
This paper deals with left non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation (=LND solutions), a vast class of algebraic structures encompassing groups, racks, and cycle sets. To each such solution is associated a shelf…
In the first part we recall two famous sources of solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation -- R-matrices and Yetter-Drinfel$'$d (=YD) modules -- and an interpretation of the former as a particular case of the latter. We show that this result…
An augmented rack is a set with a self-distributive binary operation induced by a group action, and has been extensively used in knot theory. Solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) have been also used for knots, since the discovery of…
We give a new type of Schur-Weyl duality for the representations of a family of quantum subgroups and their centralizer algebra. We define and classify singly-generated, Yang-Baxter relation planar algebras. We present the skein theoretic…
In this paper we discuss and characterize several set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation obtained using skew lattices, an algebraic structure that has not yet been related to the Yang-Baxter equation. Such solutions are…
Given a rack Q and a ring A, one can construct a Yang-Baxter operator c_Q: V tensor V --> V tensor V on the free A-module V = AQ by setting c_Q(x tensor y) = y tensor x^y for all x,y in Q. In answer to a question initiated by D.N. Yetter…
Every rack $Q$ provides a set-theoretic solution $c_Q$ of the Yang-Baxter equation. This article examines the deformation theory of $c_Q$ within the space of Yang-Baxter operators over a ring $\A$, a problem initiated by Freyd and Yetter in…
For a set theoretical solution of the Yang-Baxter equation $(X,\sigma)$, we define a d.g. bialgebra $B=B(X,\sigma)$, containing the semigroup algebra $A=k\{X\}/\langle xy=zt : \sigma(x,y)=(z,t)\rangle$, such that $k\otimes_A B\otimes_Ak$…
We introduce a novel algebraic structure called di-skew brace by which we show that generalized digroups systematically yield bijective, non-degenerate solutions to the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation. We study the structural properties…
We introduce twisted set-theoretic Yang-Baxter solutions and develop an associated cohomology theory, which extends the standard cohomology theory of Yang-Baxter solutions. By employing cocycles of twisted biquandles along with Alexander…
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…
Modified $r$-matrices are solutions of the modified classical Yang-Baxter equation, introduced by Semenov-Tian-Shansky, and play important roles in mathematical physics. In this paper, first we introduce a cohomology theory for modified…
Self-distributive (SD) structures form an important class of solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation, which underlie spectacular knot-theoretic applications of self-distributivity. It is less known that one go the other way round, and…
We study the deformations of a wide class of Yang-Baxter (YB) operators arising from Lie algebras. We relate the higher order deformations of YB operators to Lie algebra deformations. We show that the obstruction to integrating deformations…
The interplay between set-theoretic solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation of Mathematical Physics, skew braces, regular subgroups, and Hopf--Galois structures has spawned a considerable body of literature in recent years. In a recent…
