We find new solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation in terms of the intertwiner matrix for semi-cyclic representations of the quantum group $U_q(s\ell(2))$ with $q= e^{2\pi i/N}$. These intertwiners serve to define the Boltzmann weights of a…
In general, quantum matrix algebras are associated with a couple of compatible braidings. A particular example of such an algebra is the so-called Reflection Equation algebra. In this paper we analyse its specific properties, which…
These are the extended notes of a mini-course given at the school WinterBraids X. We discuss algebras simultaneously related to: the braid group, the Yang-Baxter equation and the representation theory of quantum groups. The main goal is to…
This article investigates Dehornoy's monomial representations for structure groups and Coxeter-like groups associated with a set-theoretic solution to the Yang--Baxter equation. Using the brace structure of these groups and the language of…
For a given quasitriangular Hopf algebra $\Ha$ we study relations between the braided group $\tilde \Ha^*$ and Drinfeld's twist. We show that the braided bialgebra structure of $\tilde \Ha^*$ is naturally described by means of twisted…
Building further on work of Marin and Wagner, we give a cubic braid-type skein theory of the Links--Gould polynomial invariant of oriented links and prove that it can be used to evaluate any oriented link, adding this polynomial to the list…
Combining the notions of braces and relative Rota-Baxter operators on groups in connection with the Yang-Baxter equation and a factorization theorem of Lie groups from integrable systems, relative Rota-Baxter operators on braces and…
We study solutions of the parametric set-theoretic reflection equation from an algebraic perspective by employing recently derived generalizations of the familiar shelves and racks, called parametric (p)-shelves and racks. Generic…
Dynamical skew braces are known to produce solutions to the quiver-theoretic Yang--Baxter equation. Under a technical hypothesis, we prove that these solutions are braided groupoids (and hence skew bracoids in the sense of Sheng, Tang and…
New algebraic structure on the orbits of dressing transformations of the quasitriangular Poisson Lie groups is provided. This give the topological interpretation of the link invariants associated with the Weinstein--Xu classical solutions…
Using a theorem of Schechtman - Varchenko on integral expressions for solutions of Knizhnik - Zamolodchikov equations we prove that the solutions of the Yang - Baxter equation associated to complex simple Lie algebras belong to the class of…
We investigate a class of combinatory algebras, called ribbon combinatory algebras, in which we can interpret both the braided untyped linear lambda calculus and framed oriented tangles. Any reflexive object in a ribbon category gives rise…
After having established elementary results on the relationship between a finite complex (pseudo-)reflection group W < GL(V) and its reflection arrangement A, we prove that the action of W on A is canonically related with other natural…
We define a concept of Hecke algebra for structure groups of set-theoretical solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation. As a comparison to Artin--Tits groups of spherical type, we study some properties of this construction, while also…
We consider the reflection equation algebra for a finite dimensional R-matrix for the $(h,w)$-deformed Heisenberg algebra ${\cal U}_{h,w}(h(4))$. A representation of the reflection matrix $K$ is constructed using the matrix generators…
We introduce the notion of a braided dynamical group which is a matched pair of dynamical groups satisfying extra conditions. It is shown to give a solution of the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and at the same time a braided groupoid,…
The aim of this contribution is to analyze to some extent the reflectivity of the family of organic salts known as the Bechgaard salts. The reflectivity will be calculated using a well known theoretical framework,and results for the…
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…
There exists a multiplicative homomorphism from the braid group B to the Temperley-Lieb algebra TL. Moreover, the homomorphic images in TL of the simple elements form a basis for the vector space underlying TL. In analogy with the case of…
In order to construct solutions of the braid equation we consider bijective left non-degenerate set-theoretic type solutions, which correspond to regular q-cycle coalgebras. We obtain a partial classification of the different q-cycle…
