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 ...

I am reading Kac's book on infinite dimensional lie algebras. In the last chapter, he starts with a highest weight module of an affine lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}(A)$, and uses it to define tau ...

I have a question about the equation (1.24) in the paper about classical r-matrices. It is said that when we put $\overline{r} = Pr$ in the equation (1.24): $$ \overline{r}_{23}\overline{r}_{12}P_{23}...

Let $g= gl_2$. Suppose that $r \in g \otimes g$ satisfies the following properties: (1) $r_{12} + r_{21} \in g \otimes g$ is $g$-invariant, $r_{12} = r$, $r_{21} = \tau \ r_{12}$. (2) $[r_{12}, r_{...

I tried to understand Belavin-Drinfeld's classification of solutions of classical Yang-Baxter equations. In the book a guide to quantum groups, on page 83, there is an example of solutions of the ...
