Title: Set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

Abstract:
The Yang--Baxter equation is one of the basic equations in 
mathematical-physics. For that reason, Drinfeld posed the question of 
finding set-theoretic (or combinatorial) solutions. In this talk we will 
give an overview of the theory and we will show how to produce new 
solutions by means of extensions.

Venue: Luigi Stasi Seminar Room (ICTP Leonardo da Vinci Building, first
