Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-associative algebra is receiving more and more attention these days (as a revived research direction). There are two important classes of non-associative structures (Lie structures and Jordan structures), and the attempts to unify (non-)associative structures have led to new, interesting results.
The Yang–Baxter equation first appeared in theoretical physics in a paper by the Nobel laureate C.N. Yang (in 1968) and in statistical mechanics in R.J. Baxter's work (1971). 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.
Contributions related to non-associative algebra and/or to Yang–Baxter equations, solutions to open problems proposed in our previous Special Issues, and related research are warmly invited for consideration for this Special Issue.

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.
