In continuation of our recent work about smash product Hom-Hopf algebras [Colloq. Math. 134 (2014)], we introduce the Hom-Yetter-Drinfeld category ${}_H^H$ via the Radford biproduct Hom-Hopf algebra, and prove that Hom-Yetter-Drinfeld modules can provide solutions of the Hom-Yang-Baxter equation and ${}_H^H$ is a pre-braided tensor category, where (H,β,S) is a Hom-Hopf algebra. Furthermore, we show that $(A{♮}_{\diamond }H,\alpha \otimes \beta )$ is a Radford biproduct Hom-Hopf algebra if and only if (A,α) is a Hom-Hopf algebra in the category ${}_H^H$. Finally,...

We present a notion of an anti-covariant bialgebra extending the anti-symmetric infinitesimal bialgebra and also provide some equivalent characterizations of it. We also prove that an anti-associative Yang-Baxter pair can produce a special Rota-Baxter system.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 81R50, 16W50, 16S36, 16S37.Let k be a field and X be a set of n elements. We introduce and study a class of quadratic k-algebras called quantum binomial algebras. Our main result shows that such an algebra A defines a solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation (YBE), if and only if its Koszul dual A! is Frobenius of dimension n, with a regular socle and for each x, y ∈ X an equality of the type xyy = αzzt, where α ∈ k {0, and z, t ∈ X is satisfied...

Yang-Baxter (YB) map systems (or set-theoretic analogs of entwining YB structures) are presented. They admit zero curvature representations with spectral parameter depended Lax triples L₁, L₂, L₃ derived from symplectic leaves of 2 × 2 binomial matrices equipped with the Sklyanin bracket. A unique factorization condition of the Lax triple implies a 3-dimensional compatibility property of these maps. In case L₁ = L₂ = L₃ this property yields the set-theoretic quantum Yang-Baxter equation, i.e. the...

In analogy with earlier work on the forward-backward case, we consider an explicit construction of the forward-forward double stochastic product integral ${\prod }^{\to \to }(1+dr)$ with generator $dr=\lambda (d{A}^{†}\otimes dA-dA\otimes d{A}^{†})$. The method of construction is to approximate the product integral by a discrete double product ${\prod }_{(j,k)\in {\mathbb{N}}_m\times \mathbb{N}ₙ}^{\to \to }\Gamma \left(R_{m,n}^{(j,k)}\right)=\Gamma \left({\prod }_{(j,k)\in {\mathbb{N}}_m\times \mathbb{N}ₙ}^{\to \to }\left(R_{m,n}^{(j,k)}\right)\right)$ of second quantised rotations $R_{m,n}^{(j,k)}$ in different planes using the embedding of ${ℂ}^m\oplus ℂⁿ$ into L²(ℝ) ⊕ L²(ℝ) in which the standard orthonormal bases of ${ℂ}^m$ and ℂⁿ are mapped to the orthonormal sets consisting of normalised indicator functions of...

We define an operator α on ℂ³ ⊗ ℂ³ associated with the quantum group $U_q\left(2\right)$, which satisfies the Yang-Baxter equation and a cubic equation (α² - 1)(α + q²) = 0. This operator can be extended to a family of operators $h_j:=I_j\otimes \alpha \otimes I_{n-2-j}$ on ${\left(ℂ³\right)}^{\otimes n}$ with 0 ≤ j ≤ n - 2. These operators generate the cubic Hecke algebra ${\mathscr{H}}_{q,n}\left(2\right)$ associated with the quantum group $U_q\left(2\right)$. The purpose of this note is to present the construction.

The main purpose of the present paper is to study representations of BiHom-Hopf algebras. We first introduce the notion of BiHom-Hopf algebras, and then discuss BiHom-type modules, Yetter-Dinfeld modules and Drinfeld doubles with parameters. We get some new $n$-monoidal categories via the category of BiHom-(co)modules and the category of BiHom-Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Finally, we obtain a center construction type theorem on BiHom-Hopf algebras.

Quantum quasigroups and loops are self-dual objects that provide a general framework for the nonassociative extension of quantum group techniques. They also have one-sided analogues, which are not self-dual. In this paper, natural quantum versions of idempotence and distributivity are specified for these and related structures. Quantum distributive structures furnish solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation.

A twisted generalization of quasitriangular Hopf algebras called quasitriangular Hom-Hopf algebras is introduced. We characterize these algebras in terms of certain morphisms. We also give their equivalent description via a braided monoidal category $̃{(}_Hℳ)$. Finally, we study the twisting structure of quasitriangular Hom-Hopf algebras by conjugation with Hom-2-cocycles.

Let $\pi$ be a group, and $H$ be a semi-Hopf $\pi$-algebra. We first show that the category ${}_Hℳ$ of left $\pi$-modules over $H$ is a monoidal category with a suitably defined tensor product and each element $\alpha$ in $\pi$ induces a strict monoidal functor $F_{\alpha }$ from ${}_Hℳ$ to itself. Then we introduce the concept of quasitriangular semi-Hopf $\pi$-algebra, and show that a semi-Hopf $\pi$-algebra $H$ is quasitriangular if and only if the category ${}_Hℳ$ is a braided monoidal category and $F_{\alpha }$ is a strict braided monoidal functor for any $\alpha \in \pi$. Finally,...

As generalizations of separable and Frobenius algebras, separable and Frobenius monoidal Hom-algebras are introduced. They are all related to the Hom-Frobenius-separability equation (HFS-equation). We characterize these two Hom-algebraic structures by the same central element and different normalizing conditions, and the structure of these two types of monoidal Hom-algebras is studied. The Nakayama automorphisms of Frobenius monoidal Hom-algebras are considered.

We introduce the concept of relative Hom-Hopf modules and investigate their structure in a monoidal category $̃\left({ℳ}_k\right)$. More particularly, the fundamental theorem for relative Hom-Hopf modules is proved under the assumption that the Hom-comodule algebra is cleft. Moreover, Maschke’s theorem for relative Hom-Hopf modules is established when there is a multiplicative total Hom-integral.

In this article, we develop a geometric method to construct solutions of the classical Yang–Baxter equation, attaching a family of classical $r$-matrices to the Weierstrass family of plane cubic curves and a pair of coprime positive integers. It turns out that all elliptic $r$-matrices arise in this way from smooth cubic curves. For the cuspidal cubic curve, we prove that the obtained solutions are rational and compute them explicitly. We also describe them in terms of Stolin’s classication and prove...
