Nikitin, A.G. (ed.) et al., Proceedings of the fourth international conference on symmetry in nonlinear mathematical physics, Kyïv, Ukraine, July 9–15, 2001. Part 2. Dedicated to the 200th anniversary of M. Ostrohrads’kyi. Kyïv: Institute of Mathematics of NAS of Ukraine (ISBN 966-02-2486-9). Proc. Inst. Math. Natl. Acad. Sci. Ukr., Math.

Properties of ternary semigroups, groups and algebras are discussed in this paper. The author shows that there exist three types of ternary units. Three types of co-associativity and three kinds of co-units are given here. A classification of ternary co-algebras with respect to the property “to be derived” is presented. Ternary Hopf algebras with skew and strong antipodes are defined and concrete examples are presented. A ternary analogue of deformation, a ternary analogue of quasi-triangular Hopf algebras, a ternary “pairing” of three Hopf algebras and ternary abstract quantum Yang-Baxter equation are studied in this work. After obvious changes most of the constructions introduced in the paper are valid for the \(n\)-ary case.
