Abstract

Idempotent left nondegenerate solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation are in one-to-one correspondence with twisted Ward left quasigroups, which are left quasigroups satisfying the identity $(x*y)*(x*z)=(y*y)*(y*z)$. Using combinatorial properties of the Cayley kernel and the squaring mapping, we prove that a twisted Ward left quasigroup of prime order is either permutational or a quasigroup. Up to isomorphism, all twisted Ward quasigroups $(X,*)$ are obtained by twisting the left division operation in groups (that is, they are of the form $x*y=\psi (x^{-1}y)$ for a group $(X,\cdot )$ and its automorphism $\psi $), and they correspond to idempotent Latin solutions. We solve the isomorphism problem for idempotent Latin solutions.
