Solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and quantum sl(2)

We construct a quantum deformation of a family of the Yang-Baxter equation solutions naturally arising from a Lie algebra sl(2).

Dynamical Yang-Baxter maps and Hopf algebroids associated with s-sets

An s-set is an algebraic generalization of the regular s-manifold introduced by Kowalski, one of the generalized symmetric spaces in differential geometry. We prove that suitable s-sets give birth to dynamical Yang-Baxter maps, set-theoretic solutions to a version of the quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation. As an application, Hopf algebroids and rigid tensor categories are constructed by means of these dynamical Yang-Baxter maps.

Lax matrices for Yang-Baxter maps

It is shown that for a certain class of Yang-Baxter maps (or set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation) the Lax representation can be derived straight from the map itself. A similar phenomenon for 3D consistent equations on quad-graphs has been recently discovered by A. Bobenko and one of the authors, and by F. Nijhoff.

On twisting solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation

Sufficient conditions for an invertible two-tensor $F$ to relate two solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation via the transformation $R\to F^{-1}_{21} R F$ are formulated. Those conditions include relations arising from twisting of certain quasitriangular bialgebras.

Affine Actions and the Yang-Baxter Equation

In this paper, the relations between the Yang-Baxter equation and affine actions are explored in detail. In particular, we classify solutions of the Yang-Baxter equations in two ways: (i) by their associated affine actions of their structure groups on their derived structure groups, and (ii) by the C*-dynamical systems obtained from their associated affine actions. On the way to our main results, several other useful results are also obtained.

A characterization of finite simple set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

In this paper we present a characterization of finite simple involutive non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation by means of left braces and we provide some significant examples.

FRT Construction for Dynamical Yang-Baxter Maps

Notions of an (H, X)-bialgebroid and of its dynamical representation are proposed. The dynamical representations of each (H, X)-bialgebroid form a tensor category. Every dynamical Yang-Baxter map R(lambda) satisfying suitable conditions, a generalization of the set-theoretical solution to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, gives birth to an (H, X)-bialgebroid A_R. The categories of L-operators for R(lambda) and of dynamical representations of A_R are isomorphic as tensor categories.

Distributive biracks and solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

We investigate a class of non-involutive solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation which generalize self-distributive (derived) solutions. In particular, we study generalized multipermutation solutions in this class. We show that the Yang-Baxter (permutation) groups of such solutions are nilpotent. We formulate the results in the language of biracks.

Solutions of the Quantum-Yang-Baxter-Equation from Symmetric Spaces

We show that for each semi-Riemannian locally symmetric space the curvature tensor gives rise to a rational solution $r$ of the classical Yang-Baxter equation with spectral parameter. For several Riemannian globally symmetric spaces $M$ such as real, complex and quaternionic Grassmann manifolds we explicitly compute solutions $R$ of the quantum Yang Baxter equations (represented in the tangent spaces of $M$) which generalize the quantum $R$-matrix found by Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov in 1979.

Indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and orthogonal dynamical extensions of cycle sets

Employing the algebraic structure of the left brace and the dynamical extensions of cycle sets, we investigate a class of indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation having specific imprimitivity blocks. Moreover, we study one-generator left braces of multipermutation level 2.

Solution of a Yang-Baxter system

Strategy for solution of the system based on the symmetries is suggested and accomplished in the dimension two.The complete list of invertible solutions of the system is presented.

Lectures on the dynamical Yang-Baxter equations

This paper contains a systematic and elementary introduction to a new area of the theory of quantum groups -- the theory of the classical and quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equations. It arose from a minicourse given by the first author at MIT in the Spring of 1999, when the second author extended and improved his lecture notes of this minicourse. The quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation is a generalization of the ordinary quantum Yang-Baxter equation, considered in a physical context by Gervais and Neveu, and later from a mathematical viewpoint by Felder. Felder attached to every solution of…

Generalized Yang-Baxter Equations and Braiding Quantum Gates

Solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation - an important equation in mathematics and physics - and their afforded braid group representations have applications in fields such as knot theory, statistical mechanics, and, most recently, quantum information science. In particular, unitary representations of the braid group are desired because they generate braiding quantum gates. These are actively studied in the ongoing research into topological quantum computing. A generalized Yang-Baxter equation was proposed a few years ago by Eric Rowell et al. By finding solutions to the generalized Yang-Baxter …

Analogs of q-Serre relations in the Yang-Baxter algebras

Yang-Baxter bialgebras, as previously introduced by the authors, are shown to arise from a double crossproduct construction applied to the bialgebra R T T = T T R, E T = T E R, Δ(T) = T \hat{\otimes} T, Δ(E) = E \hat{\otimes} T + 1 \hat{\otimes} E and its skew dual, with R being a numerical matrix solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. It is further shown that a set of relations generalizing q-Serre ones in the Drinfeld-Jimbo algebras U_q(g) can be naturally imposed on Yang-Baxter algebras from the requirement of non-degeneracy of the pairing.

On the indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation of prime-power size

We develop a method to construct all the indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation with a prime-power number of elements and cyclic permutation group. Moreover, we give a complete classification of the indecomposable ones having abelian permutation group and cardinality $pq$ (where $p$ and $q$ are prime numbers not necessarily distinct).

Associative triples and Yang-Baxter equation

We introduce triples of associative algebras as a tool for building solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. It turns out that the class of R-matrices thus obtained is related to a Hecke-like condition, which is formulated for associative algebras with symmetric cyclic inner product. R-matrices for a subclass of the $A_n$-type Belavin-Drinfel'd triples are derived in this way.

Non-unitary set-theoretical solutions to the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation

We develop a theory of non-unitary set-theoretical solutions to the Quantum Yang-Baxter equation. Our results generalize those obtained by Etingof, Schedler and the author. We remark that some of our constructions are similar to constructions obtained by Lu, Yan and Zhu.

Spectral-parameter dependent Yang-Baxter operators and Yang-Baxter systems from algebra structures

For any algebra two families of coloured Yang-Baxter operators are constructed, thus producing solutions to the two-parameter quantum Yang-Baxter equation. An open problem about a system of functional equations is stated. The matrix forms of these operators for two and three dimensional algebras are computed. A FRT bialgebra for one of these families is presented. Solutions for the one-parameter quantum Yang-Baxter equation are derived and a Yang-Baxter system constructed.

Nonstandard solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

Explicit solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation are given corresponding to the non-unitary solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation for sl(5).

New constructions of Yang-Baxter systems

The quantum Yang-Baxter equation admits generalisations to systems of Yang-Baxter type equations called Yang-Baxter systems. Starting from algebra structures, we propose new constructions of some constant as well as the spectral-parameter dependent Yang-Baxter systems. Besides, we also present explicitly the commutation algebra structure associated to the constant type in dimension two.

Yang-Baxter operators from (G, θ)-Lie algebras

The (G, θ)-Lie algebras are structures which unify the Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras. We use them to produce solutions for the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. The constant and the spectral-parameter Yang-Baxter equations and Yang-Baxter systems are also studied.

New rational solutions of Yang-Baxter equation and deformed Yangians

In this paper a class of new quantum groups is presented: deformed Yangians. They arise from rational solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation of the form $c_2 /u + const$ . The universal quantum $R$-matrix for a deformed Yangian is described. Its image in finite-dimensional representaions of the Yangian gives new matrix rational solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE).

Yang-Baxter operators from algebra structures and Lie superalgebras

We present solutions for the (constant and spectral-parameter) Yang-Baxter equations and Yang-Baxter systems arising from algebra structures and discuss about their symmetries. In the last section, we present some applications.

Lie algebras and Yang-Baxter equations

At the previous congress (CRM 6), we reviewed the construction of Yang-Baxter operators from associative algebras, and presented some (colored) bialgebras and Yang-Baxter systems related to them. The current talk deals with Yang-Baxter operators from (G, θ)-Lie algebras (structures which unify the Lie algebras and the Lie superalgebras). Thus, we produce solutions for the constant and the spectral-parameter Yang-Baxter equations, Yang-Baxter systems, etc. Attempting to present the general framework we review the work of other authors and we propose problems, applications and directions of stud…

The Cremmer-Gervais solution of the Yang-Baxter equation

A direct proof is given of the fact that the Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation.

The Strongly Symmetric Elements and Solutions of Yang-Baxter Equation

It is shown that all strongly symmetric elements are solutions of constant classical Yang-Baxter equation in Lie algebra, or of quantum Yang-Baxter equation in algebra. Otherwise, all solutions of constant classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE) in Lie algebra $L$ with dim $L \le 3$ over field $k$ of characteristic 2 are obtained

The second Yang-Baxter homology for the Homflypt polynomial

In this article, we adjust the Yang-Baxter operators constructed by Jones for the HOMFLYPT polynomal. Then we compute the second homology for this family of Yang-Baxter operators. It has the potential to yield 2-cocycle invariant for links.

Yang-Baxter equation, symmetric functions and Grothendieck polynomials

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.

Homology Theory for the Set-Theoretic Yang-Baxter Equation and Knot Invariants from Generalizations of Quandles

A homology theory is developed for set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equations, and knot invariants are constructed by generalized colorings by biquandles and Yang-Baxter cocycles.

Virtual Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants

We extend the Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants for virtual knots by augmenting Yang-Baxter 2-cocycles with cocycles from a cohomology theory associated to a virtual biquandle structure. These invariants coincide with the classical Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants for classical knots but provide extra information about virtual knots and links. In particular, they provide a method for detecting non-classicality of virtual knots and links.

Yang-Baxter maps and integrable dynamics

The hierarchy of commuting maps related to a set-theoretical solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation (Yang-Baxter map) is introduced. They can be considered as dynamical analogues of the monodromy and/or transfer-matrices. The general scheme of producing Yang-Baxter maps based on matrix factorisation is discussed in the context of the integrability problem for the corresponding dynamical systems. Some examples of birational Yang-Baxter maps coming from the theory of the periodic dressing chain and matrix KdV equation are discussed.

The interplay between $k$-graphs and the Yang-Baxter equation

In this paper, we initiate the study of the interplay between $k$-graphs and the Yang-Baxter equation. For this, we provide two very different perspectives. One one hand, we show that the set of all set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation is a special class of single-vertex $k$-graphs. As a consequence, we construct an infinite family of large solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation from an arbitrarily given one. On the other hand, we prove that all single-vertex $k$-graphs are YB-semigroups of square-free, involutive solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Other various connections a…

On Solutions to the Twisted Yang-Baxter equation

Solutions to the twisted Yang-Baxter equation, arising from intertwiners for cyclic representations of $U_q(\widehat{sl}_n)$ are described via two coupled the lattice current algebras.

Twisted Yang-Baxter equations for linear quantum (super)groups

We consider the modified (or twisted) Yang-Baxter equations for the $SL_{q}(N)$ groups and $SL_{q}(N|M)$ supergroups. The general solutions for these equations are presented in the case of the linear quantum (super)groups. The introduction of spectral parameters in the twisted Yang-Baxter equation and its solutions are also discussed.

Unitary Solutions to the Yang-Baxter Equation in Dimension Four

In this paper, we determine all unitary solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation in dimension four. Quantum computation motivates this study. This set of solutions will assist in clarifying the relationship between quantum entanglement and topological entanglement. We present a variety of facts about the Yang-Baxter equation for the reader unfamiliar with the equation.

Set Theoretic Yang-Baxter Solutions via Fox Calculus

We construct solutions to the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation using braid group representations in free group automorphisms and their Fox differentials. The method resembles the extensions of groups and quandles.

Flag varieties and the Yang-Baxter equation

We investigate certain bases of Hecke algebras defined by means of the Yang-Baxter equation, which we call Yang-Baxter bases. These bases are essentially self-adjoint with respect to a canonical bilinear form. In the case of the degenerate Hecke algebra, we identify the coefficients in the expansion of the Yang-Baxter basis on the usual basis of the algebra with specializations of double Schubert polynomials. We also describe the expansions associated to other specializations of the generic Hecke algebra.

Yang-Baxter operators arising from algebra structures and the Alexander polynomial of knots

In this note, we consider the problem of constructing knot invariants from Yang-Baxter operators associated to (unitary associative) algebra structures. We first compute the enhancements of these operators. Then, we conclude that Turaev's procedure to construct knot invariants, as modified by Murakami, invariably produces from those enhanced Yang-Baxter operators the Alexander polynomial.

Some functional solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

A general functional definition of the infinite dimensional quantum $R$-matrix satisfying the Yang-Baxter equation is given. A procedure for the extracting a finite dimensional $R$-matrix from the general definition is demonstrated in a particular case when the group $SU(2)$ takes place.

Invariants of links from the generalized Yang-Baxter equation

Enhanced Yang-Baxter operators give rise to invariants of oriented links. We expand the enhancing method to generalized Yang-Baxter operators. At present two examples of generalized Yang-Baxter operators are known and recently three types of variations for one of these were discovered. We present the definition of enhanced generalized YB-operators and show that all known examples of generalized YB-operators can be enhanced to give corresponding invariants of oriented links. Most of these invariants are specializations of the polynomial invariant $P$. Invariants from generalized YB-operators ar…

Yang-Baxter maps and symmetries of integrable equations on quad-graphs

A connection between the Yang-Baxter relation for maps and the multi-dimensional consistency property of integrable equations on quad-graphs is investigated. The approach is based on the symmetry analysis of the corresponding equations. It is shown that the Yang-Baxter variables can be chosen as invariants of the multi-parameter symmetry groups of the equations. We use the classification results by Adler, Bobenko and Suris to demonstrate this method. Some new examples of Yang-Baxter maps are derived in this way from multi-field integrable equations.

Dynamical Yang-Baxter Maps with an Invariance Condition

By means of left quasigroups L=(L, .) and ternary systems, we construct dynamical Yang-Baxter maps associated with L, L, and (.) satisfying an invariance condition that the binary operation (.) of the left quasigroup L defines. Conversely, this construction characterize such dynamical Yang-Baxter maps. The unitary condition of the dynamical Yang-Baxter map is discussed. Moreover, we establish a correspondence between two dynamical Yang-Baxter maps constructed in this paper. This correspondence produces a version of the vertex-IRF correspondence.

Poisson Lie groups and Hamiltonian theory of the Yang-Baxter maps

We show how the theory of Poisson Lie groups can be used to establish the Poisson properties of the Yang-Baxter maps and related transfer dynamics. As an example we present the Hamiltonian structure for the matrix KdV soliton interaction.

Vector bundles on degenerations of elliptic curves and Yang-Baxter equations

In this paper we introduce the notion of a geometric associative r-matrix attached to a genus one fibration with a section and irreducible fibres. It allows us to study degenerations of solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation using the approach of Polishchuk. We also calculate certain solutions of the classical, quantum and associative Yang-Baxter equations obtained from moduli spaces of (semi-)stable vector bundles on Weierstrass cubic curves.

Folding of set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

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 structure. Moreover, we introduce the notion of a foldable solution, which extends the one of a decomposable solution.

New Link Invariants and Yang-Baxter Equation

We have new solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation, from which we have constructed new link invariants containing more than two arbitrary parameters. This may be regarded as a generalization of the Jones' polynomial. We have also found another simpler invariant which discriminates only the linking structure of knots with each other, but not details of individual knot.

Integrability of the Six-Vertex model and the Yang-Baxter Groupoid

We study the Yang-Baxter equation for the $R$-matrices of the six-vertex model. We analyze the solutions and give new parametrizations of the Yang-Baxter equation. In particular, we find the maximal commutative families of parametrized solutions which generalize the $R$-matrices from the affine quantum (super)-groups. Then we give a new parametrization of the Yang-Baxter equation by a groupoid of non-free-fermionic matrices. In the appendix, we study the general algebraic structure of the solutions of the Yang-Baxter and formulate a conjecture that extends the conjecture by Brubaker, Bump, and…

A characterization of finite multipermutation solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

We prove that a finite non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solution (X,r) of the Yang-Baxter equation is a multipermutation solution if and only if its structure group G(X,r) admits a left ordering or equivalently it is poly-(infinite cyclic).

A method for obtaining quantum doubles from the Yang-Baxter R-matrices

We develop the approach of Faddeev, Reshetikhin, Takhtajan [1] and of Majid [2] that enables one to associate a quasitriangular Hopf algebra to every regular invertible constant solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equations. We show that such a Hopf algebra is actually a quantum double.

Universal exponential solution of the Yang-Baxter equation

Exponential solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation give rise to generalized Schubert polynomials and corresponding symmetric functions. We provide several descriptions of the local stationary algebra defined by this equation. This allows to construct various exponential solutions of the YBE. The $B_n$ and $G_2$ cases are also treated.
