We introduce Boolean trusses, that is, trusses in which every element is idempotent. Every Boolean truss admits a decomposition into a truss arising from a Boolean ring and a rectangular truss. Furthermore, we classify all Boolean trusses up to isomorphism.
It is shown that any Lie affgebra, that is an algebraic system consisting of an affine space together with a bi-affine bracket satisfying affine versions of the antisymmetry and Jacobi identity, is isomorphic to a Lie algebra together with an element and a specific generalised derivation (in the sense of Leger and Luks, [G.F.\ Leger \& E.M.\ Luks, Generalized derivations of Lie algebras, {\em J.\ Algebra} {\bf 228} (2000), 165--203]). These Lie algebraic data can be taken for the construction of a Lie affgebra or, conversely, they can be uniquely derived for any Lie algebra fibre of the Lie affgebra. The close relationship between Lie affgebras and (enriched by the additional data) Lie algebras can be employed to attempt a classification of the former by the latter. In particular, up to isomorphism, a complex Lie affgebra with a simple Lie algebra fibre $\mathfrak{g}$ is fully determined by a scalar and an element of $\mathfrak{g}$ fixed up to an automorphism of $\mathfrak{g}$, and it can be universally embedded in a trivial extension of $\mathfrak{g}$ by a derivation. The study is illustrated by a number of examples that include all Lie affgebras with one-dimensional, nonabelian two-dimensional, $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{o}(3)$ fibres. Extensions of Lie affgebras by cocycles and their relation to cocycle extensions of tangent Lie algebras is briefly discussed too.
We find all explicit involutive solutions $X \in \mathbb C^{n \times n}$ of the Yang-Baxter-like matrix equation $AXA=XAX$, where $A \in \mathbb C^{n \times n}$ is a given involutory matrix. The construction is algorithmic.
