Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Yang-Baxter Equation first appeared in theoretical physics, in a paper of the Nobel laureate C.N. Yang, and in statistical mechanics, in R.J. Baxter's work. Later, it turned out that this equation plays a crucial role in: quantum groups, knot theory, braided categories, analysis of integrable systems, quantum mechanics, non-commutative descent theory, quantum computing, non-commutative geometry, etc.
Many scientists have used the axioms of various algebraic structures (quasitriangular Hopf algebras, Yetter-Drinfeld categories, Lie (super)algebras, algebra structures, Boolean algebras, brace structures, relations on sets, etc.) or computer calculations in order to produce solutions for the Yang-Baxter Equation. However, the full classification of its solutions remains an open problem.
Contributions related to the various aspects of the Yang-Baxter Equation, the related algebraic structures, and their applications are invited. We would like to gather together relevant reviews, research articles, and communications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
