We develop new machinery for producing decomposability tests for involutive solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. It is based on the seminal decomposability theorem of Rump, and on "cabling" operations on solutions and their effect on the…
Using computer calculations and working with representatives of pretzel tangles we established general adequacy criteria for different classes of knots and links. Based on adequate graphs obtained from all Kauffman states of an alternating…
It is a well known result from Thistlethwaite that the Jones polynomial of a non-split alternating link is alternating. We find the right generalization of this result to the case of non-split alternating tangles. More specifically: the…
A new link invariant is derived using the exactly solvable chiral Potts model and a generalized Gaussian summation identity. Starting from a general formulation of link invariants using edge-interaction spin models, we establish the…
We consider an algebra of (classical or virtual) tangles over an ordered circuit operad and introduce Conway-type invariants of tangles which respect this algebraic structure. The resulting invariants contain both the coefficients of the…
We study simple set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation that are finite and non-degenerate. Such retractable solutions are fully described and to investigate the irretracble solutions we give a new algebraic method. Our approach…
We define two new families of invariants for (3-manifold, graph) pairs which detect the unknot and are additive under connected sum of pairs and (-1/2)-additive under trivalent vertex sum of pairs. The first of these families is closely…
We construct a new invariant of singular links through representations of the singular braid monoid into the two parameters bt-algebra. Additionally, we recover this invariant by using the approach of Paris and Rabenda. Hence, we introduce…
Left-Alia algebras are a class of algebras with symmetric Jacobi identities. They contain several typical types of algebras as subclasses, and are closely related to the invariant theory. In this paper, we study the construction theory of…
We find approximations by Vassiliev invariants for the coefficients of the Jones polynomial and all specializations of the HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials. Consequently, we obtain approximations of some other link invariants arising from…
Ng constructed an invariant of knots in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, a combinatorial knot contact homology. Extending his study, we construct an invariant of surface-knots in ${\mathbb{R}}^4$ using diagrams in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$.
Generalization of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation solutions to an arbitrary grading is studied. The noncommutative differential calculi corresponding to such solutions is considered. The connection with the ordinary and supersymmetric…
This paper identifies a new class of shape invariant models. These models are based on extensions of conventional quantum mechanics that satisfy a string-motivated minimal length uncertainty relation. An important feature of our…
We construct an analogue of Yang--Baxter deformations defined by a single Killing vector, that is a solution generating transformation in Einstein--Maxwell dilaton theory. We show that these are nothing but a coordinate transformation in a…
New development of the theory of Grothendieck polynomials, based on an exponential solution of the Yang-Baxter equation in the algebra of projectors are given.
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between a class of Garside groups admitting a certain presentation and the structure groups of non-degenerate, involutive and braided set-theoretical solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. We…
Given a left brace $G$, a method to construct all the involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions $(Y,s)$ of the YBE, such that $\mathcal{G}(Y,s)\cong G$ is given. This method depends entirely on the brace structure of $G$.
We construct a new type of geometric knot theory, plumbers' knots, and solve the problems of distinguishing and enumerating such knots at a fixed level of complexity. (v2) Minor edits, added theorem 3.18. (v3) Substantial revisions,…
We study the solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation associated to nineteen vertex models invariant by the parity-time symmetry from the perspective of algebraic geometry. We determine the form of the algebraic curves constraining the…
In a recent paper Jones introduced a correspondence between elements of the Thompson group $F$ and certain graphs/links. It follows from his work that several polynomial invariants of links, such as the Kauffman bracket, can be…
