Algebraic structures in the Yang-Baxter equation
Heriot-Watt University
Edinburgh
A five-day conference at Heriot-Watt University on algebraic aspects of the Yang-Baxter equation
MAIN AIM
Yang-Baxter equation is a central object in the context of quantum integrable systems and quantum algebras (Hopf algebras) and has deep mathematical and physical significance. Recent studies on set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation have generated novel algebraic structures called braces (nil rings) and also provided intriguing links with braid theory, racks, quandles and Hopf-Galois extensions among others.
The goal of this event is to bring together leading experts in the areas of algebra and mathematical physics to discuss recent advances on solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and the associated algebraic structures as well as on Yang-Baxter algebras and their coideal structures, such as the reflection algebra.
