Pairs of compatible associative algebras, classical Yang-Baxter equation and quiver representations

Quantum doubles of finite group algebras form a class of quasi-triangular Hopf algebras which algebraically solve the Yang--Baxter equation. Each representation of the quantum double then gives a matrix solution of the Yang--Baxter equation. Such solutions do not depend on a spectral parameter, and to date there has been little investigation into extending these solutions such that they do depend on a spectral parameter. Here we first explicitly construct the matrix elements ...

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.

Let $(X,r_X)$ and $(Y,r_Y)$ be finite nondegenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, and let $A_X = A(\textbf{k}, X, r_X)$ and $A_Y= A(\textbf{k}, Y, r_Y)$ be their quadratic Yang-Baxter algebras over a field $\textbf{k}.$ We find an explicit presentation of the Segre product $A_X\circ A_Y$ in terms of one-generators and quadratic relations. We introduce analogues of Segre maps in the class of Yang-Baxter algebras and find their images and the...

These notes provide three contributions to the (well-established) representation theory of Dynkin and Euclidean quivers. They should be helpful as part of a direct approach to study representations of quivers, and they may shed some new light on properties of Dynkin and Euclidean quivers. Part 1 deals with the case A (see arXiv:1304.5720). Part 2 concerns the case D. We show that the category of representation of D_n contains a full subcategory which is equivalent to the ca...

In this paper, we use algebro-geometric methods in order to derive classification results for so-called $D$-bialgebra structures on the power series algebra $A[\![z]\!]$ for certain central simple non-associative algebras $A$. These structures are closely related to a version of the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE) over $A$. If $A$ is a Lie algebra, we obtain new proofs for pivotal steps in the known classification of non-degenerate topological Lie bialgebra structures...

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 category is called a "solution" for short. Results of Etingof-Schedler-Soloviev, Lu-Yan-Zhu and Takeuchi on the set-theoretical quantum Yang-Baxter equation are generalized to the context of quivers, with groupoids playing the r\^ole of grou...

In this paper, first we introduce the notion of a Leibniz bialgebra and show that matched pairs of Leibniz algebras, Manin triples of Leibniz algebras and Leibniz bialgebras are equivalent. Then we introduce the notion of a (relative) Rota-Baxter operator on a Leibniz algebra and construct the graded Lie algebra that characterizes relative Rota-Baxter operators as Maurer-Cartan elements. By these structures and the twisting theory of twilled Leibniz algebras, we further defin...

We examine classes of quantum algebras emerging from involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and their q-analogues. After providing some universal results on quasi-bialgebras and admissible Drinfeld twists we show that the quantum algebras produced from set-theoretic solutions and their q-analogues are in fact quasi-triangular quasi-bialgebras. Specific illustrative examples compatible with our generic findings are worked out. In the q-d...

Given a rack Q and a ring A, one can construct a Yang-Baxter operator c_Q: V tensor V --> V tensor V on the free A-module V = AQ by setting c_Q(x tensor y) = y tensor x^y for all x,y in Q. In answer to a question initiated by D.N. Yetter and P.J. Freyd, this article classifies formal deformations of c_Q in the space of Yang-Baxter operators. For the trivial rack, where x^y = x for all x,y, one has, of course, the classical setting of r-matrices and quantum groups. In the gene...

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relations between various constructions of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation from Leibniz algebras, racks, 3-Leibniz algebras, 3-racks, linear racks, trilinear racks, and give new constructions of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. First we show that a 3-Leibniz algebra naturally gives rise to a 3-rack on the underlying vector space, which generalizes Kinyon's construction of racks from Leibniz algebras. Then we show that a ...
