Multiparameter quantum groups and multiparameter \(R\)-matrices (Q1903556)

There exists an \({n\choose 2}+1\) parameter quantum group deformation of \(\text{GL}_n\) which has been constructed independently by several authors. In the present paper, the author gives an explicit \(R\)-matrix for this multiparameter family. This explicit \(R\)-matrix satisfies the Yang-Baxter equation. Mainly, he describes all solutions of the YBE under the restriction \(r^{ab}_{cd}=s\) unless \(\{a,b\}=\{c,d\}\). One kind of the most general constituents of the solutions precisely corresponds to the \({n\choose 2}+1\) parameter quantum group mentioned above. Also, he describes solutions which extend to an enhanced Yang-Baxter operator and defines link invariants, and gives some preliminary results on these link invariants.
