Enumeration of set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation
We use Constraint Satisfaction methods to enumerate and construct
set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation of small size. We show that
there are 321931 involutive solutions of size nine, 4895272 involutive
solutions of size ten and 422449480 non-involutive solution of size eight. Our
method is then used to enumerate non-involutive biquandles.Comment: 11 pages, 8 table

On structure groups of set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation
This paper explores the structure groups of finite non-degenerate
set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. Namely, we
construct a finite quotient of , generalizing
the Coxeter-like groups introduced by Dehornoy for involutive solutions. This
yields a finitary setting for testing injectivity: if injects into
, then it also injects into . We shrink every
solution to an injective one with the same structure group, and compute the
rank of the abelianization of . We show that multipermutation
solutions are the only involutive solutions with diffuse structure group; that
only free abelian structure groups are biorderable; and that for the structure
group of a self-distributive solution, the following conditions are equivalent:
biorderable, left-orderable, abelian, free abelian, torsion free.Comment: 32 pages. Final version. Accepted for publication in Proc. Edinburgh

Cycle matrices: A combinatorial approach to the set-theoretic solutions of the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation
An matrix with will
be called a cycle matrix if is a cycle set, where . We study these matrices in this article. Using these matrices, we
give some recipes to construct solutions, which include the multipermutation
level solutions. As an application of these, we construct a
multi-permutation solution of level for all . Our method gives
alternate proof that the class of permutation groups of solutions contains all
finite abelian groups.Comment: Minor changes after comments by Prof. G. Militaru and Prof. L.

On Skew Braces (with an appendix by N. Byott and L. Vendramin)
Braces are generalizations of radical rings, introduced by Rump to study
involutive non-degenerate set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation
(YBE). Skew braces were also recently introduced as a tool to study not
necessarily involutive solutions. Roughly speaking, skew braces provide
group-theoretical and ring-theoretical methods to understand solutions of the
YBE. It turns out that skew braces appear in many different contexts, such as
near-rings, matched pairs of groups, triply factorized groups, bijective
1-cocycles and Hopf-Galois extensions. These connections and some of their
consequences are explored in this paper. We produce several new families of
solutions related in many different ways with rings, near-rings and groups. We
also study the solutions of the YBE that skew braces naturally produce. We
prove, for example, that the order of the canonical solution associated with a
finite skew brace is even: it is two times the exponent of the additive group
modulo its center.Comment: 37 pages. Final versio
A combinatorial approach to noninvolutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation
We study noninvolutive set-theoretic solutions (X, r) of the Yang- Baxter equations in terms of the properties of the canonically associated braided monoid S(X, r), the quadratic Yang-Baxter algebra A = A(k, X, r) over a field k, and its Koszul dual A!. More generally, we continue our systematic study of nondegenerate quadratic sets (X, r) and their associated algebraic objects. Next we investigate the class of (noninvolutive) square-free solutions (X, r). This contains the self distributive solutions (quandles). We make a detailed characterization in terms of various algebraic and combinatorial properties each of which shows the contrast between involutive and noninvolutive square-free solutions. We introduce and study a class of finite square-free braided sets (X, r) of order n ≥ 3 which satisfy the minimality condition, that is, dimk A2 = 2n − 1. Examples are some simple racks of prime order p. Finally, we discuss general extensions of solutions and introduce the notion of a generalized strong twisted union of braided sets. We prove that if (Z, r) is a nondegenerate 2-cancellative braided set splitting as a generalized strong twisted union of r-invariant subsets Z = X \∗ Y , then its braided monoid SZ is a generalized strong twisted union SZ = SX \ SY of the braided monoids SX and SY . We propose a construction of a generalized strong twisted union Z = X \ Y of braided sets (X, rX) and (Y, rY ), where the map r has a high, explicitly prescribed order
