We study simple set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation that are finite and non-degenerate. Such retractable solutions are fully described and to investigate the irretracble solutions we give a new algebraic method. Our approach…
In pointed braided fusion categories knowing the self-symmetry braiding of simples is theoretically enough to reconstruct the associator and braiding on the entire category (up to twisting by a braided monoidal auto-equivalence). We address…
We describe a series of complexes that relate to the braid groups as the matching complexes relate to the symmetric groups. A modified construction applies as well to other complexes based on edge sets in graphs. We show that our…
The study of non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation calls for a deep understanding of the algebraic structure of a skew left brace. In this paper, the skew brace theoretical property of solubility is introduced…
We generalise the notions of semi-regularity, regularity, and bi-regularity to unitary solutions of the braided Pentagon equation in concrete W*-categories with semi-regular/regular/bi-regular braiding, and study their properties. We show,…
The notion of a braided chord diagram is introduced and studied. An equivalence relation is given which identifies all braidings of a fixed chord diagram. It is shown that finite-type invariants are stratified by braid index for knots which…
We provide explicit and unified formulae for the normalized 3-cocycles on arbitrary finite abelian groups. As an application, we compute all the braided monoidal structures on linear Gr-categories.
Set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation have been studied extensively by means of related algebraic systems such as cycle sets and braces, dynamical versions of which have also been developed. No work focuses on set-theoretic…
A skew brace, as introduced by L. Guarnieri and L. Vendramin, is a set with two group structures interacting in a particular way. When one of the group structures is abelian, one gets back the notion of brace as introduced by W. Rump. Skew…
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…
Skew braces are intensively studied owing to their wide ranging connections and applications. We generalize the definition of a skew brace to give a new algebraic object, which we term a skew bracoid. Our construction involves two groups…
For a general surface $M$ and an arbitrary braid $\alpha$ from the surface braid group $B_{n-1}(M)$ we study the system of equations $d_1\beta=\cdots=d_{n}\beta=\alpha, $ where operation $d_i$ is deleting of $i$-th strand. We obtain that if…
Braid groups are an important and flexible tool used in several areas of science, such as Knot Theory (Alexander's theorem), Mathematical Physics (Yang-Baxter's equation) and Algebraic Geometry (monodromy invariants). In this note we will…
We introduce web supercategories of type Q. We describe the structure of these categories and show they have a symmetric braiding. The main result of the paper shows these diagrammatically defined monoidal supercategories provide…
We study 2-reductive non-involutive non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We give a combinatorial construction of any such solution of any (even infinite) size. We also prove that solutions associated to a skew…
We examine classes of quantum algebras emerging from involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and their q-analogues. After providing some universal results on quasi-bialgebras and admissible Drinfeld…
For a positive braid $\beta \in \mathrm{Br}^{+}_{k}$, we consider the braid variety $X(\beta)$. We define a family of open sets $\mathcal{U}_{r, w}$ in $X(\beta)$, where $w \in S_k$ is a permutation and $r$ is a positive integer no greater…
There exists a multiplicative homomorphism from the braid group B to the Temperley-Lieb algebra TL. Moreover, the homomorphic images in TL of the simple elements form a basis for the vector space underlying TL. In analogy with the case of…
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…
Braces were introduced by Rump as a generalization of Jacobson radical rings. It turns out that braces allow us to use ring-theoretic and group-theoretic methods for studying involutive solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. If braces are…
