From the braid-valued Burau module over the braid group we construct the Yang-Baxter matrices yielding the Alexander- and the Jones knot invariants. This generalises an observation of V. F. R. Jones.
We study involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation of multipermutation level 2. These solutions happen to fall into two classes -- distributive ones and non-distributive ones. The distributive ones can be effectively…
We describe in this talk three methods of constructing different links with the same Jones type invariant. All three can be thought as generalizations of mutation. The first combines the satellite construction with mutation. The second uses…

We develop a theory of extensions for involutive and nondegenerate solutions of the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation and use it to produce new families of solutions. As an application we construct an infinite family of counterexamples to…

We study non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation of multipermutation level 2 which are not 2-reductive. We describe an effective way of constructing such solutions using square-free 2-reductive solutions and two…
The most common geometric interpretation of the Yang-Baxter equation is by braids, knots and relevant Reidemeister moves. So far, cubes were used for connections with the third Reidemeister move only. We will show that there are…

We describe a geometric construction of all nondegenerate trigonometric solutions of the associative and classical Yang-Baxter equations. In the associative case the solutions come from symmetric spherical orders over the irreducible nodal…
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 $G$.
Set-theoretic solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation form a meeting-ground of mathematical physics, algebra and combinatorics. Such a solution consists of a set $X$ and a function r:X x X --> X x X which satisfies the braid relation. We…
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…
