Solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and strong semilattices of skew braces
Francesco Catino, Marzia Mazzotta, Paola Stefanelli
Abstract
We prove that any set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation associated to a dual weak brace is a strong semilattice of non-degenerate bijective solutions. This fact makes use of the description of any dual weak brace $S$ we provide in terms of strong semilattice $Y$ of skew braces $B_α$, with $α\in Y$. Additionally, we describe the ideals of $S$ and study its nilpotency by correlating it to that of each skew brace $B_α$.
