Abstract: The distributive laws of ring theory are fundamental equalities in algebra. However, recently in the study of the Yang-Baxter equation, many algebraic structures with alternative "distributive" laws were defined. In an effort to study these "left distributive" laws and the interaction they entail on the algebraic structures, Brzezi'nski introduced skew left trusses and left semi-trusses. In particular the class of left semi-trusses is very wide, since it contains all rings, associative algebras and distributive lattices. In this paper, we investigate the subclass of left semi-trusses that behave like the algebraic structures that came up in the study of the Yang-Baxter equation. We study the interaction of the operations and what this interaction entails on their respective semigroups. In particular, we prove that in the finite case the additive structure is a completely regular semigroup. Secondly, we apply our results on a particular instance of a left semi-truss called an almost left semi-brace, introduced by Miccoli to study its algebraic structure. In particular, we show that one can associate a left semi-brace to any almost left semi-brace. Furthermore, we show that the set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation originating from almost left semi-braces arise from this correspondence.


The study of a particular class of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, namely the non-degenerate involutive set-theoretical solutions, was initiated by \textit{P. Etingof} et al. [Duke Math. J. 100, No. 2, 169--209 (1999; Zbl 0969.81030)] and \textit{T. Gateva-Ivanova} and \textit{M. Van den Bergh} [J. Algebra 206, No. 1, 97--112 (1998; Zbl 0944.20049)]. This led to the definition and study of the algebraic structure called a (right) brace by \textit{W. Rump} [J. Algebra 307, No. 1, 153--170 (2007; Zbl 1115.16022)]. It was shown that this gives an algebraic way to describe all involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions. Subsequently many related algebraic structures were defined and studied, for example a skew left brace, skew left truss, left semi-truss and almost left semi-brace. Here the authors determine connections between some of these these structures and investigate their algebraic properties. In particular, they restrict themselves to the subclass of brace-like left semi-trusses, which includes all (skew) left braces, left semi-braces and almost left semi-braces.
