Introduction to the Yang-Baxter Equation with Open Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
The Yang-Baxter equation first appeared in theoretical physics, in a paper by the Nobel laureate C. N. Yang, and in statistical mechanics, in R. J. Baxter’s work. Later, it turned out that this equation plays a crucial role in: quantum groups, knot theory, braided categories, analysis of integrable systems, quantum mechanics, non-commutative descent theory, quantum computing, non-commutative geometry, etc. Many scientists have found solutions for the Yang-Baxter equation, obtaining qualitative results (using the axioms of various algebraic structures) or quantitative results (usually using computer calculations). However, the full classification of its solutions remains an open problem. In this paper, we present the (set-theoretical) Yang-Baxter equation, we sketch the proof of a new theorem, we state some problems, and discuss about directions for future research.

In memory of Grace Lambe §1. Introduction. The quantum Yang–Baxter equation (QYBE) is related to the study of integrable models in statistical mechanics and solutions to the QYBE are a starting point for the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method (QISM) [1], [22], [5]. An exposition of the relationship between the QISM and the Bethe Ansatz in connection with QYBE can be found in [5], [20] and [4]. T...

Computational methods are an important tool for solving the Yang–Baxter equations (in small dimensions), for classifying (unifying) structures and for solving related problems. This paper is an account of some of the latest developments on the Yang–Baxter equation, its set-theoretical version and its applications. We construct new set-theoretical solutions for the Yang–Baxter equation. Unificat...
