We propose a new dynamical reflection algebra, distinct from the previous dynamical boundary algebra and semi-dynamical reflection algebra. The associated Yang-Baxter equations, coactions, fusions, and commuting traces are derived. Explicit…
Several aspects of relations between braces and non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation are discussed and many consequences are derived. In particular, for each positive integer $n$ a finite square-free…
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…
Let $k$ be a field and $X$ be a set of $n$ elements. We introduce and study a class of quadratic $k$-algebras called \emph{quantum binomial algebras}. Our main result shows that such an algebra $A$ defines a solution of the classical…
We use ring-theoretic methods and methods from the theory of skew braces to produce set-theoretic solutions to the reflection equation. We also use set-theoretic solutions to construct solutions to the parameter-dependent reflection…
The spectral resolution of a U_q(sl_2)-invariant solution R of the constant Yang-Baxter equation in the braid group form is considered. It is shown that, if the two highest coefficients in this resolution are not equal, then R is either the…
Several years ago, it was proposed that the usual solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation associated to Lie groups can be deduced in a systematic way from four-dimensional gauge theory. In the present paper, we extend this picture, fill in…
Given a finite bijective non-degenerate set-theoretic solution $(X,r)$ of the Yang--Baxter equation we characterize when its structure monoid $M(X,r)$ is Malcev nilpotent. Applying this characterization to solutions coming from racks, we…
Given a skew left brace $B$, a method is given to construct all the non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions $(X,r)$ of the Yang Baxter equation such that the associated permutation group $\mathcal{G}(X,r)$ is isomorphic, as a skew left…
We replace the ice Ansatz on matrix solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation by a weaker condition which we call "rime". Rime solutions include the standard Drinfeld-Jimbo R-matrix. Solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation within the rime Ansatz…
We propose a generic framework to obtain certain types of contracted and centrally extended algebras. This is based on the existence of quadratic algebras (reflection algebras and twisted Yangians), naturally arising in the context of…
Solutions to the quiver-theoretic quantum Yang-Baxter equation are associated with structure categories and structure groupoids. We prove that the structure groupoids of involutive non-degenerate solutions are Garside. This generalises a…
It was proved by Montaner and Zelmanov that up to classical twisting Lie bialgebra structures on $\mathfrak{g}[u]$ fall into four classes. Here $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra. It turns out that classical…
Derived braids have been used to classify categorical structures based on the braid underlying a braided monoidal category V. With four-strand braids underlying the composition morphisms of tensor products of categories enriched over V,…
With any even Hecke symmetry R (that is a Hecke type solution of the Yang-Baxter equation) we associate a quasitensor category. We formulate a condition on R implying that the constructed category is rigid and its commutativity isomorphisms…
It is demonstrated how chains of twists for classical Lie algebras induce the new twist deformations (the deformed Yangians) that quantize the generalized rational solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. For the case of Y(g) with…
We investigate a family of (reducible) representations of Artin's braid groups corresponding to a specific solution to the Yang-Baxter equation. The images of the braid groups under these representations are finite groups, and we identify…
The definitions of the main notions related to the quantum inverse scattering methods are given. The Yang-Baxter equation and reflection equations are derived as consistency conditions for the factorizable scattering on the whole line and…
We give an explicit formula for the correspondence between simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules for certain finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras $H$ and those for cocycle twists $H^{\sigma}$ of $H$. This implies an equivalence between modules…
Skew braces play a central role in the theory of set-theoretic non-degenerate solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation, since their algebraic properties significantly affect the behaviour of the corresponding solutions (see for example…
