Abstract

We established a method for obtaining set-theoretical solutions to the 3D reflection equation by using known ones to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, where the former equation was proposed by Isaev and Kulish as a boundary analog of the latter. By applying our method to Sergeev's electrical solution and a two-component solution associated with the discrete modified KP equation, we obtain new solutions to the 3D reflection equation. Our approach is closely related to a relation between the transition maps of Lusztig's parametrizations of the totally positive part of SL3SL_3 and SO5SO_5, which is obtained via folding the Dynkin diagram of A3A_3 into one of B2B_2.
