| The conference will explore the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE), a central topic in pure mathematics with connections to particle physics, statistical mechanics, and various mathematical fields like algebra, knot theory, tensor categories, and Hopf–Galois theory. Introduced in the 1960s by Yang and Baxter, the YBE has evolved into a rich and profound area of study. Drinfel'd's combinatorial version of the YBE, proposed in 1992, unveiled deep connections to numerous mathematical structures, including skew polynomial algebras, Bieberbach and Garside groups, and self-distributive structures such as racks and quandles. New algebraic concepts such as cycle sets, braces, and trusses were developed to address YBE-related problems and have found applications in other areas of mathematics. | |
