Abstract:

We describe the left brace structure of the structure group and the permutation group associated with an involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solution of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation using the Cayley graph of its permutation group with respect to its natural generating system. We use our descriptions of the additions in both braces to obtain new properties of the structure and the permutation groups and to recover some known properties of these groups in a more transparent way.

TITLE: Triply factorised groups and skew left braces

ABSTRACT:

The Yang-Baxter equation is a consistency equation of the statistical mechanics proposed by Yang [6] and Baxter [1] that describes the interaction of many particles in some scattering situations. This equation lays the foundation for the theory of quantum groups and Hopf algebras. During the last years, the study suggested by Drinfeld [2] of the so-called set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation has motivated the appearance of many algebraic structures. Among these structures we find the skew left braces, in troduced by Guarnieri and Vendramin [3] as a generalisation of the structure of left brace defined by Rump [4]. It consists of a set B with two operations + and ·, not necessarily commutative, that give B two structures of group linked by a modified distributive law.

The multiplicative group C = (B, ·) of a skew left brace (B, +, ·) acts on the multiplicative group K = (B, +) by means of an action λ: C −→ Aut(K) given by λ(a)(b) = −a + a · b, for a, b ∈ B. With respect to this action, the identity map δ : C −→ K becomes a derivation or 1-cocycle with respect to λ. In the semidirect product G = [K]C = {(k, c) | k ∈ K, c ∈ C}, there is a diagonal-type subgroup D = {(δ(c), c) | c ∈ C} such that G = KD = CD, K ∩ D = C ∩ D = 1. This approach was presented by Sysak in [5] and motivates the use of techniques of group theory to study skew left braces.

We present in this talk some applications of this approach to obtain some results about skew left braces. These results have been obtained in collaboration with Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches.
