We develop a theory of non-unitary set-theoretical solutions to the Quantum Yang-Baxter equation. Our results generalize those obtained by Etingof, Schedler and the author. We remark that some of our constructions are similar to constructions obtained by Lu, Yan and Zhu.
In this note we define geometric classical r-matrices and quantum R-matrices, and show how any geometric classical r-matrix can be quantized to a geometric quantum R-matrix. This is one of the simplest nontrivial examples of quantization of solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation, which can be explicitly computed.
In 1992 V$.$Drinfeld formulated a number of problems in quantum group theory. In particular, he suggested to consider ``set-theoretical'' solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, i.e. solutions given by a permutation R of the set $X\times X$, where X is a fixed set. In this paper we study such solutions, which in addition satisfy the unitarity and nondegeneracy conditions. We discuss the geometric and algebraic interpretations of such solutions, introduce several constructions of them, and make first steps towards their classification.
Recently V.Drinfeld formulated a number of problems in quantum group theory. In particular, he suggested to consider ``set-theoretical'' solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, i.e. solutions given by a permutation $R$ of the set $X\times X$, where $X$ is a fixed finite set. In this note we study such solutions, which satisfy the unitarity and the crossing symmetry conditions -- natural conditions arising in physical applications. More specifically, we consider ``linear'' solutions: the set $X$ is an abelian group, and the map $R$ is an automorphism of $X\times X$. We show that in this case, solutions are in 1-1 correspondence with pairs $a,b\in \End X$, such that $b$ is invertible and $bab^{-1}=\frac{a}{a+1}$. Later we consider ``affine'' solutions ($R$ is an automorphism of $X\times X$ as a principal homogeneous space), and show that they have a similar classification. The fact that these classifications are so nice leads us to think that there should be some interesting structure hidden behind this problem.
We give a new realization of $Y(sl_3)$ via Cartan-Weyl elements. An algebraic description of Yangian Double $DY(sl_3)$, explicit comultiplication formulas and universal R-matrix are obtained in these terms.
