We study indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation with cyclic permutation groups (cocyclic solutions). In particular, we show that there is no one-to-one correspondence between indecomposable cocyclic…
We introduce skein theoretic techniques to compute the Yang-Baxter (YB) homology and cohomology groups of the R-matrix corresponding to the Jones polynomial. More specifically, we show that the YB operator $R$ for Jones, normalized for…
A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if $A=(A,\oplus,\odot)$ is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group $A_{\oplus}$, then the multiplicative group $A_{\odot}$ of $A$ is also solvable. Proving or disproving this…
We study non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions (X,r) of the Yang-Baxter equation, we call them simply solutions. We show that the structure group G(X,r) of a finite non-trivial solution (X,r) cannot be an Engel group. It is…
In the 1990s, Drinfel'd proposed the study of set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, initiating a line of research that has since garnered substantial attention and led to notable developments in algebra,…
We study extensions and second cohomology of skew left braces via the natural semi-direct products associated with the skew left braces. Let $0 \to I \to E \to H \to 0$ be a skew brace extension and $\Lambda_H$ denote the natural…
The paper extends the notion of braided set and its close relative - the Yang-Baxter set - to the category of vector spaces and explore structure aspects of such a notion as morphisms and extensions. In this way we describe a family of…
We classify Nichols algebras of irreducible Yetter-Drinfeld modules over groups such that the underlying rack is braided and the homogeneous component of degree three of the Nichols algebra satisfies a given inequality. This assumption…
We revisit the classic stability problem of the buckling of an inextensible, axially compressed beam on a nonlinear elastic foundation with a semi-analytical approach to understand how spatially localized deformation solutions emerge in…
We introduce the notion of a \emph{braided dihedral set} (BDS) to describe set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) that furnish representations of the infinite dihedral group on the Cartesian square of the underlying…
Let $G$ be a nonabelian group. We show how a collection of compatible endomorphisms $\psi_i:G\to G$ such that $\psi_i([G,G])\le Z(G)$ for all $i$ allows us to construct a family of bi-skew braces called a brace block. We relate this…
Extending earlier results on the duality symmetries of three-brane probe theories we define the duality subgroup of SL(2,Z) as the symmetry group of the background 7-branes configurations. We establish that the action of Weyl reflections is…
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 define a knot/link invariant using set theoretical solutions $(X,\sigma)$ of the Yang-Baxter equation and non commutative 2-cocycles. We also define, for a given $(X,\sigma)$, a universal group Unc(X) governing all 2-cocycles in $X$, and…
A new family of non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation is constructed. All these solutions are strong twisted unions of multipermutation solutions of multipermutation level at most two. A large…
We study a twisted version of the Yang-Baxter Equation, called the Hom-Yang-Baxter Equation (HYBE), which is motivated by Hom-Lie algebras. Three classes of solutions of the HYBE are constructed, one from Hom-Lie algebras and the others…
The A-B slice problem is a reformulation of the topological 4-dimensional surgery conjecture in terms of decompositions of the 4-ball and link homotopy. We show that link groups, a recently developed invariant of 4-manifolds, provide an…
We study group action on bimodules and bimodule categories and prove for them analogues of the results known for representations of skew group algebras, mainly in the case, when the action is separable.
We introduce affine structures on groups and show they form a category equivalent to that of semi-braces. In particular, such a new description of semi-braces includes that presented by Rump for braces. By specific affine structures, we…
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…
