The retraction relation for biracks

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In {it Set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation} (Duke Math. J. {�f 100} (1999), 169--209), Etingof, Schedler and Soloviev introduced, for each non-degenerate involutive set-theoretical solution (X,sigma,au) of the Yang-Baxter equation, the equivalence relation sim defined on the set X and they considered a new non-degenerate involutive induced emph{retraction} solution defined on the quotient set Xsim. It is well known that translating set-theoretical non-degenerate solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation into the universal algebra language we obtain an algebra called a emph{birack}. In the paper we introduce the emph{generalized retraction} relation approx on a birack, which is equal to sim in an involutive case. We present a complete algebraic proof that the relation approx is a congruence of the birack. Thus we show that the retraction of a set-theoretical non-degenerate solution is well defined not only in the involutive case but also in the case of all non-involutive solutions.
