Abstract

The Yang–Baxter equation is a fascinating equation that appears in many areas of physics and mathematics and is best represented diagramatically. This snapshot connects the mathematics of braiding hair to the Yang–Baxter equation and relates it to current research about systems of infinite dimensional algebras called "subfactors".
