In this paper, we initiate the study of the interplay between $k$-graphs and the Yang-Baxter equation. For this, we provide two very different perspectives. One one hand, we show that the set of all set-theoretic solutions of the…
It is shown that for a certain class of Yang-Baxter maps (or set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation) the Lax representation can be derived straight from the map itself. A similar phenomenon for 3D consistent equations…
We construct novel solutions to the set-theoretical entwining Yang-Baxter equation. These solutions are birational maps involving non-commutative dynamical variables which are elements of the Grassmann algebra of order $n$. The maps arise…
We study tetrahedron maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, and their matrix Lax representations defined by the local Yang--Baxter equation. Sergeev [S.M. Sergeev 1998 Lett. Math. Phys. 45,…

The theory of the parametric set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation is established from a purely algebraic point of view. The first step towards this objective is the introduction of certain generalizations of the familiar shelves and racks…
We present Yang-Baxter maps associated to elliptic curves. They are related to discrete versions of the Krichever-Novikov and the Landau-Lifshits equations. A lifting of scalar integrable quad-graph equations to two-field equations is also…
We consider a matrix refactorization problem, i.e., a "Lax representation", for the Yang-Baxter map that originated as the map of polarizations from the "pure" 2-soliton solution of a matrix KP equation. Using the Lax matrix and its…
We present a systematic technique to construct solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation which depend not only on a spectral parameter but in addition on further continuous parameters. These extra parameters enter the Yang-Baxter equation in a…

The 4-simplex equation is a higher-dimensional analogue of Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equation and the Yang--Baxter equation which are two of the most fundamental equations of mathematical physics. In this paper, we introduce a method for…
A review of some recent results on the dynamical theory of the Yang-Baxter maps (also known as set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation) is given. The central question is the integrability of the transfer dynamics. The…
In this article, a system of Yang-Baxter-type matrix equations is studied, $XAX=BXB$, $XBX=AXA$, which "generalizes" the matrix Yang-Baxter equation and exhibits a broken symmetry. We investigate the solutions of this system from various…

In the classification of solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation, there are solutions that are not deformations of the trivial solution (essentially the identity). We consider the algebras defined by these solutions, and the corresponding…
The Yang-Baxter Equation (YBE) plays a crucial role for studying integrable many-body quantum systems. Many known YBE solutions provide various examples ranging from quantum spin chains to superconducting systems. Models of solvable…
