Yang–Baxter operator

Yang–Baxter operators are invertible linear endomorphisms with applications in theoretical physics and topology. They are named after theoretical physicists Yang Chen-Ning and Rodney Baxter. These operators are particularly notable for providing solutions to the quantum Yang–Baxter equation, which originated in statistical mechanics, and for their use in constructing invariants of knots, links, and three-dimensional manifolds.
