Weakly involutive $R$-matrices and representations of the symmetric group $S_N$ in restricted subspaces of $V^{\otimes N}$

An $R$-matrix is a matrix $R\in\operatorname{End}(V\otimes V)$ (where $V$ is a finite dimensional vector space) that solves the Yang–Baxter equation $$R_{12}R_{23}R_{12}=R_{23}R_{12}R_{23},$$ where ...

Problem in understanding Theorem $6.2.9$ from Chari and Pressley

The theorem I am referring to here says that if we start with a Lie bialgebra $\mathfrak g$ determined by some skew-symmetric element $r \in \mathfrak g \otimes \mathfrak g$ satisfying classical Yang-...

Involutive solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation (and triangular Hopf algebras)

I'm interested in solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation $$R_{12}R_{23}R_{12}=R_{23}R_{12}R_{23},$$ that are involutive $R^2_{12}=1$. Or put it another way, I'm interested in representations of the ...
