Title: Introduction to Yang-Baxter Homology

Abstract: Yang-Baxter operators have been used to construct link invariants such as Jones Polynomial, HOMFLYPT Polynomial, etc. In this talk, I will introduce Yang-Baxter homology recently discovered by Jozef Przytycki and Victoria Lebed. In particular, the theory is motivated from distributive homology and set-theoretical Yang-Baxter homology.
