Entwining Yang-Baxter maps and integrable lattices
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...
