Abstract The study of R-matrices, matrix solutions of the spectral (parameter-dependent) Yang-Baxter equation, was a major motivation for the discovery of quantum groups. The quasitriangular structure of these bialgebras is the origin of large classes of R-matrices. The Yang-Baxter equation has a "twisted type-B/cylindrical" counterpart: the reflection equation. Its matrix solutions, known as K...
AbstractIn 2009, Claire Amiot constructed Calabi-Yau structures on certain Verdier quotients. Our aim in this talk is to lift her construction to the differential graded level. This is a central ingredient in a recent proof of a variant of Amiot's conjecture on the structure of 2-Calabi-Yau categories with a cluster tilting object. The talk is a report on joint work with Junyang Liu
