Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Rota–Baxter algebra has its origin in the work of G. Baxter, likely around 1960, and was studied by Atkinson, Cartier and Rota in its early years. Independently, Rota–Baxter Lie algebra appeared as the operator form of the classical Yang–Baxter equation. The subject experienced a remarkable renaissance into this century, thanks to its roles in combinatorics, number theory and mathematical physics. Its more recent studies have touched upon even broader areas of research as illustrated below.

You are invited to contribute to the Special Issue on “Rota–Baxter Algebras and Related Topics” of MDPI Mathematics. For further information of the journal, see

where the journal, even if very new, is listed in quartile 2 in Mathematics since 2020 with an SJR score of 0.495. This puts the journal at about the same level as Canadian Mathematical Bulletin (0.522), Frontiers of Mathematics in China (0.482), Glasgow Mathematical Journal (0.482) and Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society (0.479).

This Special Issue welcomes contributions on Rota–Baxter algebras and related topics. Due to the connections of Rota–Baxter algebras with broad areas in mathematics and mathematical physics, topics covered by the Special Issue include, but are not limited to,

  • Yang–Baxter equations,
  • Algebraic Combinatorics
  • Renormalization issues in physics and mathematics
  • O-operators (aka relative Rota–Baxter operators), and multi-operator structures
  • Multiple zeta values
  • Computational aspects such as Groebner–Shirshov bases
  • Other algebraic operators such as differential, Nijenhuis, averaging and Reynolds operators
  • Rota–Baxter related operators on other structures, such as Hom-structures, groups, Hopf algebras and lattices
  • Representation theoretic aspect
  • Categorical, operadic and universal algebra aspects

Let Σ+ be the set of all finite words over a finite alphabet Σ. A word u is called a strict prefix of a word v, if u is a prefix of v and there is no other way to show that u is a subword of v. A language LΣ+ is said to be prefix-strict, if for any u,vL, u is a subword of v always implies that u is a strict prefix of v. Denote the class of all prefix-strict languages in Σ+ by P(Σ+). This paper characterizes P(Σ+) as a universe of a model of the free object for the ai-semiring variety satisfying the additional identities x+yxx and x+yxzx. Furthermore, the analogous results for so-called suffix-strict languages and infix-strict languages are introduced. Full article

This paper mainly considers a class of non-weight modules over the Lie algebra of the Weyl type. First, we construct the U(h)-free modules of rank one over the differential operator algebra. Then, we characterize the tensor products of these kind of modules and the quasi-finite highest weight modules. Finally, we undertake such research for the differential operator algebra of multi-variables. Full article

In this paper, first we establish the explicit relation between 3-derivations and 3- automorphisms of a Lie algebra using the differential and exponential map. More precisely, we show that the Lie algebra of 3-derivations is the Lie algebra of the Lie group of 3-automorphisms. Then we study the derivations and automorphisms of the standard embedding Lie algebra of a Lie triple system. We prove that derivations and automorphisms of a Lie triple system give rise to derivations and automorphisms of the corresponding standard embedding Lie algebra. Finally we compute the 3-derivations and 3-automorphisms of 3-dimensional real Lie algebras. Full article

In this paper, we study the Hom–Hopf algebra automorphism group of a (θ,ω)-twisted-Radford’s Hom-biproduct, which satisfies certain conditions. First, we study the endomorphism monoid and automorphism group of (θ,ω)-twisted Radford’s Hom-biproducts, and show [...] Read more.
In this paper, we study the Hom–Hopf algebra automorphism group of a (θ,ω)-twisted-Radford’s Hom-biproduct, which satisfies certain conditions. First, we study the endomorphism monoid and automorphism group of (θ,ω)-twisted Radford’s Hom-biproducts, and show that the endomorphism has a factorization closely related to the factors (A,α) and (H,β). Then, we consider (θ,ω)-twisted Radford’s Hom-biproduct automorphism group AutHom-Hopf(A×ωθH,p) as a subgroup of some semidirect product U(C,A)opφG(A). Finally, we characterize the automorphisms of a concrete example. Full article

As a generalization of Rota–Baxter algebras, the concept of an Ω-Rota–Baxter could also be regarded as an algebraic abstraction of the integral analysis. In this paper, we introduce the concept of an Ω-dendriform algebra and show the relationship between Ω-Rota–Baxter algebras and Ω-dendriform algebras. Then, we provide a multiplication recursion definition of typed, angularly decorated rooted trees. Finally, we construct the free Ω-Rota–Baxter algebra by typed, angularly decorated rooted trees.

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of a Rota–Baxter operator on a cocommutative weak Hopf algebra H and give some examples. We then construct Rota–Baxter operators from the normalized integral, antipode, and target map of H. Moreover, we construct a new multiplication “∗” and an antipode SB from a Rota–Baxter operator B on H such that HB=(H,,η,Δ,ε,SB) becomes a new weak Hopf algebra. Finally, all Rota–Baxter operators on a weak Hopf algebra of a matrix algebra are given. Full article

Every set with a binary operation satisfying a true statement of propositional logic corresponds to a solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. Quantum B-algebras and L-algebras are closely related to Yang-Baxter equation theory. In this paper, we study the categories with quantum B-algebras with morphisms of exact ones or spectral ones. We guarantee the existences of both direct limits and inverse limits. Full article
