Such double cosets naturally appear in the symplectic leaf decompositions of Poisson homogeneous spaces of complex reductive groups with the Belavin-Drinfeld Poisson structures. They also appear in orbit decompositions of the De Concini-Procesi compactifications of semi-simple groups of adjoint type. We find explicit parametrizations of the double coset spaces and describe the double cosets as homogeneous spaces of R_A \\times R_C. We further show that all such double cosets give rise to set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation on unipotent algebraic groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-01-20T22:13:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "reductive algebraic groups", "double coset spaces", "unipotent algebraic groups", "belavin-drinfeld poisson structures", "quantum yang-baxter equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....10006L" } } }
