Comments are welcome!", "categories": [ "math.GT", "math.QA" ], "abstract": "In this article, we introduce a notion of twisted set-theoretic Yang-Baxter solution, which is a triplet $(X,f,R)$, where $(X,R)$ is a Yang-Baxter set and $f:X \\to X$ is an automorphism of $(X,R)$. We present a cohomology theory for it, and use cocycles of twisted biquandles in amalgamation with Alexander numbering to construct state-sum invariant of knots and knotted surfaces. Additionally, we introduce a twisted version of cohomology theory for Yang-Baxter sets and give applications to knot theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-03T04:03:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K10", "57K45", "57K12", "16T25", "57T99" ], "keywords": [ "cohomology theory", "twisted yang-baxter sets", "application", "twisted set-theoretic yang-baxter solution", "construct state-sum invariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
