We define plat closure for spherical braids to obtain links in $\mathbb{R}P^3$ and prove that all links in $\mathbb{R}P^3$ can be realized in this manner. Given a spherical braid $\beta$ of $2n$ strands in $\mathbb{R}P^3$ we associate a…
We obtain an R-matrix or matrix representation of the Artin braid group acting in a canonical way on the vector space of every (super)-Lie algebra or braided-Lie algebra. The same result applies for every (super)-Hopf algebra or…
We present an untyped linear lambda calculus with braids, the corresponding combinatory logic, and the semantic models given by crossed G-sets.
We present connections between left non-degenerate solutions of the set-theoretic braid equation and left shelves using Drinfel'd homomorphisms. We generalize the notion of affine quandle, by using heap endomorphisms and metahomomorphisms,…
We study the set of $T$-periodic solutions of a class of $T$-periodically perturbed coupled and nonautonomous differential equations on manifolds. By using degree-theoretic methods we obtain a global continuation result for the $T$-periodic…
We give a classification of Wada-type representations of the braid groups, and solutions of a variant of the set-theoretical Yang-Baxter equation adapted to the free-product group structure. As a consequence, we prove Wada's conjecture:…
A large class of positive finite presentations of the braid groups is found and studied. It is shown that no presentations but known exceptions in this class have the property that equivalent braid words are also equivalent under positive…
We construct new solvable vertex models based on the spin representation of the Lie algebra $B_k$. We use these models to study the algebraic structure underlying such vertex theories. We show that all the $B_k$ spin vertex models obey a…
A bijective map $r: X^2 \longrightarrow X^2$, where $X = \{x_1, ..., x_n \}$ is a finite set, is called a \emph{set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation} (YBE) if the braid relation $r_{12}r_{23}r_{12} = r_{23}r_{12}r_{23}$ holds…
We introduce a new point of view to present classical notions related to set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation: left skew braces, dirings, left skew rings. The idea is to replace the single multiplication on a left near-ring…
In our previous work: Adv. Math. 455 (2024), no. 109880, solubility of solutions was introduced as an extension of solubility of skew braces in the classification context of non-degenerate solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. One of our…
Braided doubles provide a unifying framework for classical and quantum universal enveloping algebras and rational Cherednik algebras. They are a class of algebras with triangular decomposition, arising from a deformation problem, the…
If $(X,r)$ is a finite non-degenerate set-theoretic solution of the Yang--Baxter equation, the additive group of the structure skew brace $G(X,r)$ is an $FC$-group, i.e. a group whose elements have finitely many conjugates. Moreover, its…
In 1992 V$.$Drinfeld formulated a number of problems in quantum group theory. In particular, he suggested to consider ``set-theoretical'' solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, i.e. solutions given by a permutation R of the set…
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…
In this paper the category of opposite brace triples is introduced in a general braided monoidal setting. Under cocommutativity, it is proved to be isomorphic to the category of Hopf braces. Furthermore, if one considers the subcategories…
The role of quantum groups and braid groups in the description of Standard Model particles is discussed. Some recent results on the use of the quantum group $SU_q(3)$ as a flavour symmetry are reviewed and a connection between two…
Periodic solutions of the planar $N$-body problem determine braids through the trajectory of $N$ bodies. Braid types can be used to classify periodic solutions. According to the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface automorphisms,…
In his seminal paper on complex reflection arrangements, Bessis introduces a Garside structure for the braid group of a well-generated irreducible complex reflection group. Using this Garside structure, he establishes a strong connection…
Let $M$ be a set. A set-theoretical solution of the pentagon equation on $M$ is a map $s:M\times M\longrightarrow M\times M$ such that \begin{equation*} s_{23}\, s_{13}\, s_{12}=s_{12}\, s_{23}, \end{equation*} where $s_{12}=s\times id_M$,…
