Płonka bi-magmas and the set-theoretic Yang--Baxter equation

We introduce a new variety of non-associative algebras, called \emph{Płonka bi-magmas}, and use them to construct novel solutions to the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter (YB) equation. We establish explicit structural and classification results for Płonka bi-magmas, which allow for a detailed study of the induced families of YB-solutions. In particular, we identify and classify several naturally arising classes of YB-solutions from the universal algebra perspective, including the so-called bi-connected and ideal-simple ones. For instance, we prove that there are only countably many isomorphism classes of induced YB-solutions which are ideal-simple, and characterize them in terms of the odometer transformations familiar from ergodic theory. In particular, if $X$ is a finite set with $|X| = n$, then the number of isomorphism classes of all ideal-simple YB-solutions on $X$ is equal to the sum of all divisors of $n$.

The set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation, Kimura semigroups and functional graphs

We prove that the category of solutions of the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation of Frobenius-Separability (FS) type is equivalent to the category of pointed Kimura semigroups. As applications, all involutive, idempotent, nondegenerate, surjective, finite order, unitary or indecomposable solutions of FS type are classified. For instance, if $|X| = n$, then the number of isomorphism classes of all such solutions on $X$ that are (a) left non-degenerate, (b) bijective, (c) unitary or (d) indecomposable and left-nondegenerate is: (a) the Davis number $d(n)$, (b) $\sum_{m|n} \, p(m)$, where $p(m)$ is the Euler partition number, (c) $τ(n) + \sum_{d|n}\left\lfloor \frac d2\right\rfloor$, where $τ(n)$ is the number of divisors of $n$, or (d) the Harary number $\mathfrak{c} (n)$. The automorphism groups of such solutions can also be recovered as automorphism groups $\mathrm{Aut}(f)$ of sets $X$ equipped with a single endo-function $f:X\to X$. We describe all groups of the form $\mathrm{Aut}(f)$ as iterations of direct and (possibly infinite) wreath products of cyclic or full symmetric groups, characterize the abelian ones as products of cyclic groups, and produce examples of symmetry groups of FS solutions not of the form $\mathrm{Aut}(f)$.

Some algebras having relations like those for the 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras

The 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras are a well-studied 2-parameter family of non-commutative graded algebras, often denoted A(E,tau), that depend on a quartic elliptic curve E in P^3 and a translation automorphism tau of E. They are graded algebras generated by four degree-one elements subject to six quadratic relations and in many important ways they behave like the polynomial ring on four indeterminates apart from the minor difference that they are not commutative. They are elliptic analogues of the enveloping algebra of sl(2,C) and the quantized enveloping algebras U_q(gl_2). Recently, Cho, Hong, and Lau, conjectured that a certain 2-parameter family of algebras arising in their work on homological mirror symmetry consists of 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras. This paper shows their conjecture is false in the generality they make it. On the positive side, we show their algebras exhibit features that are similar to, and differ from, analogous features of the 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras in interesting ways. We show that most of the Cho-Hong-Lau algebras determine, and are determined by the graph of a bijection between two 20-point subsets of the projective space P^3. The paper also examines a 3-parameter family of 4-generator 6-relator algebras admitting presentations analogous to those of the 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras. This class includes the 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras and most of the Cho-Hong-Lau algebras.

Bicrossed products for finite groups

We investigate one question regarding bicrossed products of finite groups which we believe has the potential of being approachable for other classes of algebraic objects (algebras, Hopf algebras). The problem is to classify the groups that can be written as bicrossed products between groups of fixed isomorphism types. The groups obtained as bicrossed products of two finite cyclic groups, one being of prime order, are described.
