From the viewpoint of universal algebra, regular $\\star$-semibraces are (2,2,1)-type algebras. In this paper we continue to study set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and regular $\\star$-semibraces. We first consider several kinds of (2,2,1)-type algebras that induced by regular $\\star$-semigroups and give some equivalent characterizations of the statement that they form regular $\\star$-semibraces. Then we give sufficient and necessary conditions under which the associated maps to these (2,2,1)-type algebras are set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Finally, as analogues of weak braces defined by Catino, Mazzotta, Miccoli and Stefanelli, we introduce weak $\\star$-braces in the class of regular $\\star$-semibraces, describe their algebraic structures and prove that the associated maps to weak $\\star$-braces are always set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. The result of the present paper shows that the class of completely regular, orthodox and locally inverse regular $\\star$-semigroups is a source of possibly new set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Our results establish the close connection between the Yang-Baxter equation and the classical structural theory of regular $\\star$-semigroups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-17T13:14:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16T25", "20M17", "81R50", "16Y99" ], "keywords": [ "yang-baxter equation", "associated map", "semigroups", "study set-theoretic solutions", "involution semibraces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
