Rump in 2006 as an algebraic system related to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. In 2017, L. Guarnieri and L. Vendramin defined for the same purposes a more general notion of a skew left brace. Recently, L. Guo, H. Lang, Y. Sheng [arXiv:2009.03492] gave a definition of what is a Rota-Baxter operator on a group. We connect these two notions as follows. It is shown that every Rota-Baxter group gives rise to a skew left brace. Moreover, every skew left brace can be injectively embedded into a Rota-Baxter group. When the additive group of a skew left brace is complete, then this brace is induced by a Rota-Baxter group. We interpret theory of skew left braces in terms of Rota -- Baxter operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-05-02T09:15:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16T25", "20N99" ], "keywords": [ "skew left brace", "rota-baxter group", "quantum yang-baxter equation", "baxter operators", "general notion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
