$U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ is to knot theory as $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ is to $?$

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra over the complex numbers, e.g. $\mathfrak{sl}_n$. Then every representation $\DeclareMathOperator\Rep{Rep}V\in \Rep U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ ...

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 ...

What is the difference between the Yang--Baxter equation and the quantum Yang--Baxter equation?

For a vector space $V$ and a linear operator $R:V \otimes V \to V \otimes V$, we say that $R$ satisfies the Yang--Baxter equation if $$(R\otimes id)(id\otimes R)(R\otimes id) = (id\otimes R)(R\otimes ...

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-...

How to compute $t_0$ and $r^0$ in Belavin-Drinfeld's classification of solutions of classical Yang-Baxter equations?

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 ...

Partially permutative matrices

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a field $K$. Then a map $L:V\otimes V\rightarrow V\otimes V$ is said to satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation if $(L\otimes I)(I\otimes L)(L\otimes I)=(I\...
