DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Yang-Baxter equation first appeared in theoretical physics, in a paper by the Nobel laureate C.N. Yang and in the work of R.J. Baxter in the field of Statistical Mechanics. At the 1990 International Mathematics Congress, Vladimir Drinfeld, Vaughan F. R. Jones, and Edward Witten were awarded Fields Medals for their work related to the Yang-Baxter equation. It turned out that this equation is one of the basic equations in mathematical physics; more precisely, it is used for introducing the theory of quantum groups. It also plays a crucial role in: knot theory, braided categories, the analysis of integrable systems, non-commutative descent theory, quantum computing, non-commutative geometry, etc. Many scientists have used the axioms of various algebraic structures (quasi-triangular Hopf algebras, Yetter-Drinfeld categories, quandles, group actions, Lie (super)algebras, brace structures, (co)algebra structures, Jordan triples, Boolean algebras, relations on sets, etc.) or computer calculations (and Grobner bases) in order to produce solutions for the Yang-Baxter equation. However, the full classification of its solutions remains an open problem. At present, the study of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation attracts the attention of a broad circle of scientists. The current volume highlights various aspects of the Yang-Baxter equation, related algebraic structures, and applications.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Chapter 1 The algebraic prerequisites for the book are covered here and in the appendix. This chapter should be used as reference material and should be consulted as needed. A systematic treatment of algebras, coalgebras, bialgebras, Hopf algebras, and represen tations of these objects to the extent needed for the book is given. The material here not specifically cited can be found for the most part in [Sweedler, 1969] in one form or another, with a few exceptions. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the coalgebra which is the dual of n x n matrices over a field. This is the most basic example of a coalgebra for our purposes and is at the heart of most algebraic constructions described in this book. We have found pointed bialgebras useful in connection with solving the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. For this reason we develop their theory in some detail. The class of examples described in Chapter 6 in connection with the quantum double consists of pointed Hopf algebras. We note the quantized enveloping algebras described Hopf algebras. Thus for many reasons pointed bialgebras are elsewhere are pointed of fundamental interest in the study of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation and objects quantum groups.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Here is an introduction to the theory of quantum groups with emphasis on the spectacular connections with knot theory and Drinfeld's recent fundamental contributions. It presents the quantum groups attached to SL2 as well as the basic concepts of the theory of Hopf algebras. Coverage also focuses on Hopf algebras that produce solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and provides an account of Drinfeld's elegant treatment of the monodromy of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is the first-ever textbook on the Yang-Baxter equation. A key nonlinear equation for solving two important models in many-body statistical theory - the many-body problem in one dimension with repulsive delta-function interaction presented by Professor Baxter in 1972 - it has become one of the main concerns of physicists and mathematicians in the last ten years. A textbook on this subject which also serves as a reference book is vital for an equation which plays important roles in diverse areas of physics and mathematics like the completely integrable statistical models, conformal field theories, topological field theories, the theory of braid groups, the theory of knots and links, etc. This book arose from lectures given by the author in an attempt to reformulate the results of the rapidly developing research and make the material more accessible. It explains the presentation of the Yang-Baxter equation from statistical models, and expound systematically the meaning and methods of solving for this equation. From the viewpoint of theoretical physics it aims to develop an intuitive understanding of the fundamental knowledge of the Hopf algebras, quantization of Lie bialgebras, and the quantum enveloping algebras, and places emphasis on the introduction of the calculation skill in terms of the physical language.
