A bijective map $r: X^2 \longrightarrow X^2$, where $X = \{x_1, ..., x_n \}$ is a finite set, is called a \emph{set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation} (YBE) if the braid relation $r_{12}r_{23}r_{12} = r_{23}r_{12}r_{23}$ holds…

To the Yang-Baxter equation an additional relation can be added. This is the reflection equation which appears in various places, with or without spectral parameter. For example, in factorizable scattering on a half-line, integrable lattice…

The notion of a geometric crystal was introduced by A.Berenstein and D.Kazhdan, motivated by the needs of representation theory of p-adic groups. It was shown by A.Braverman, A.Berenstein, and D.Kazhdan that some particular geometric…
The theory of the parametric set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation is established from a purely algebraic point of view. The first step towards this objective is the introduction of certain generalizations of the familiar shelves and racks…
We establish a correspondence between the invariant subsets of a non-degenerate symmetric set-theoretical solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation and the parabolic subgroups of its structure group, equipped with its canonical Garside…

Quivers over a fixed base set form a monoidal category with tensor product given by pullback. The quantum Yang-Baxter equation, or more properly the braid equation, is investigated in this setting. A solution of the braid equation in this…
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…
