Quasi-bialgebras from set-theoretic type solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

Abstract

We examine classes of quantum algebras emerging from involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and their q-analogues. After providing some universal results on quasi-bialgebras and admissible Drinfeld twists we show that the quantum algebras produced from set-theoretic solutions and their q-analogues are in fact quasi-triangular quasi-bialgebras. Specific illustrative examples compatible with our generic findings are worked out. In the q-deformed case of set-theoretic solutions we also construct admissible Drinfeld twists similar to the set-theoretic ones, subject to certain extra constraints dictated by the q-deformation. These findings greatly generalise recent relevant results on set theoretic solutions and their q-deformed analogues.
