One-Generator Skew Braces and Indecomposable Set-Theoretic Solutions to the Yang-Baxter Equation
摘要
We study the class of one-generator solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation, extending some recent results concerning the classes of involutive and multipermutation solutions. Moreover we show the precise relationship between indecomposable solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation and finite one-generator skew braces, giving a positive answer to a question posed by Agata and Alicja Smoktunowicz. In the last part, we apply our results to the involutive case, and we present some numerical results involving solutions of small size.
