From quantum quasi-shuffle algebras to braided Rota-Baxter algebras

Abstract

In this letter, we use quantum quasi-shuffle algebras to construct Rota-Baxter algebras, as well as tridendriform algebras. We also propose the notion of braided Rota-Baxter algebras, which is the relevant object of Rota-Baxter algebras in a braided tensor category. Examples of such new algebras are provided by using quantum multi-brace algebras in a category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules.
