On the indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation of prime-power size

Abstract

We develop a method to construct all the indecomposable involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation with a prime-power number of elements and cyclic permutation group. Moreover, we give a complete classification of the indecomposable ones having abelian permutation group and cardinality $pq$ (where $p$ and $q$ are prime numbers not necessarily distinct).
