Skew braces as remnants of co-quasitriangular Hopf algebras in suplat (Q2049390)

Skew braces are sets with two compatible group structures and they have been introduced by \textit{L. Guarnieri} and \textit{L. Vendramin} [Math. Comput. 86, No. 307, 2519--2534 (2017; Zbl 1371.16037)] to study set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Considering linear solutions on vector spaces, there exists a relation between these kind of solutions and (co-)quasitriangular Hopf algebras. Into the specific, (co-)quasitriangular Hopf algebras and bialgebras provide solutions via their (co-)representation theory. Conversely, the Fadeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan construction produces such a bialgebra from any linear solution [\textit{N. Yu. Reshetikhin} et al., Leningr. Math. J. 1, No. 1, 193--225 (1990; Zbl 0715.17015); translation from Algebra Anal. 1, No. 1, 178--206 (1989)]. A question is whether skew braces can be viewed as Hopf algebras in a suitable category related to sets. In the paper under review, the author finds the correct category to consider, that is the category SupLat of complete lattices and join preserving morphisms. Specifically, it is shown that any Hopf algebra \(H\) in SupLat, has a corresponding group \(R(H)\), and a co-quasitriangular structure on \(H\) induces a solution on \(R(H)\), which is compatible with its group structure. Conversely, any group with a compatible solution can be realised in this way.
