We introduce new algebraic structures associated with heptagon relations -- higher analogue of the well-known pentagon. The main points we deal with are: (i) polygon relations as algebraic imitations of Pachner moves, on the example of…
We propose a specific class of matrices which participate in factorization problems that turn to be equivalent to constant and entwining (non-constant) pentagon, reverse-pentagon or Yang-Baxter maps, expressed in non-commutative variables.…
The tetrahedron equation in a special substitution is reduced to a pair of pentagon and one ten-term equations. Various examples of solutions are found. $O$-doubles of Novikov, which generalize the Heisenberg double of a Hopf algebra,…
If we fix the angles at the vertices of a convex planar $n$-gon, the lengths of its edges must satisfy two linear constraints in order for it to close up. If we also require unit perimeter, our vectors of $n$ edge lengths form a convex…
We completely determine the free parts of the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter (co)homology groups of finite cyclic biquandles, along with fully computing the torsion subgroups of their 1st and 2nd homology groups. Furthermore, we provide upper…
Biracks and biquandles, which are useful for studying the knot theory, are special families of solutions of the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation. A homology theory for the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation was developed by Carter,…
The natural generalization of the (two-dimensional) Yang-Baxter equations to three dimensions is known as the Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equations. We consider a simplified version of these equations which still ensures the commutativity…
We present particularly simple new solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation arising from two--dimensional cyclic representations of quantum $SU(2)$. They are readily interpreted as scattering matrices of relativistic objects, and the quantum…
In this paper, we exploit the combinatorics and geometry of triangulations of products of simplices to derive new results in the context of Catalan combinatorics of $\nu$-Tamari lattices. In our framework, the main role of "Catalan objects"…
We remark that an easy combination of two known results yields a positive answer, up to log(n) terms, to a duality conjecture that goes back to Pietsch. In particular, we show that for any two symmetric convex bodies K,T in R^n, denoting by…
Yang-Baxter bialgebras, as previously introduced by the authors, are shown to arise from a double crossproduct construction applied to the bialgebra R T T = T T R, E T = T E R, \Delta(T) = T \hat{\otimes} T, \Delta(E) = E \hat{\otimes} T +…
The tetrahedron equation arises as a generalization of the famous Yang--Baxter equation to the 2+1-dimensional quantum field theory and the 3-dimensional statistical mechanics. Very little is still known about its solutions. Here a…
In the tropical limit of matrix KP-II solitons, their support at fixed time is a planar graph with "polarizations" attached to its linear parts. In this work we explore a subclass of soliton solutions whose tropical limit graph has the form…
Given an associative multiplication in matrix algebra compatible with the usual one or, in other words, linear deformation of matrix algebra, we construct a solution to the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We also develop a theory of such…
We study the general rational solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with the symmetry algebra sl(3). The R-matrix acting in the tensor product of two arbitrary representations of the symmetry algebra can be represented as the product of the…
The quantum Yang-Baxter equation admits generalisations to systems of Yang-Baxter type equations called Yang-Baxter systems. Starting from algebra structures, we propose new constructions of some constant as well as the spectral-parameter…
In this paper, we develop the bialgebra theory for Lie-Yamaguti algebras. For this purpose, we exploit two types of compatibility conditions: local cocycle condition and double construction. We define the classical Yang-Baxter equation in…
We elucidate, for the first time, a novel group-theoretic structure that arises from certain solutions of the $n$-dimensional Prouhet--Tarry--Escott problem of degree $2$ and size $n$. We prove that the group is isomorphic to the orthogonal…
A class of algebras called down-up algebras was introduced by G. Benkart and T. Roby. We classify the finite dimensional simple modules over Noetherian down-up algebras and show that in some cases every finite dimensional module is…
Given a small polygon S, a big simple polygon B and a positive integer k, it is shown to be NP-hard to determine whether k copies of the small polygon (allowing translation and rotation) can be placed in the big polygon without overlap.…
