Combinatorial Yang–Baxter maps arising from the tetrahedron equation

Resumo

We survey the matrix product solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation recently obtained from the tetrahedron equation. They form a family of quantum R-matrices of generalized quantum groups interpolating the symmetric tensor representations of U_q(A_n−1⁽¹⁾) and the antisymmetric tensor representations of \({U_{ - {q^{ - 1}}}}\left( {A_{n - 1}^{\left( 1 \right)}} \right)\). We show that at q = 0, they all reduce to the Yang–Baxter maps called combinatorial R-matrices and describe the latter by an explicit algorithm.
