Braided dynamical groups, the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and related structures

Abstract: We introduce the notion of a braided dynamical group which is a matched pair of dynamical groups satisfying extra conditions. It is shown to give a solution of the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and at the same time a braided groupoid, thereby integrating the approaches of Andruskiewitsch and Matsumoto-Shimizu respectively that use these two notions to produce quiver-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We pursue this connection further by relative Rota-Baxter operators on dynamical groups, which give rise to matched pairs of dynamical groups. As the derived structures of relative Rota-Baxter operators on dynamical groups, dynamical post-groups are introduced and are shown to be equivalent to braided dynamical groups. Finally, skew-braces are generalized to dynamical skew-braces as another equivalent notion of braided dynamical groups.
