摘要
The purpose of the paper is to describe the solution to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation associated with the 8-dimensional spin representation T-sp of U-q(so(7)). The self-duality of T-sp and the symmetry of the corresponding braiding matrix are proved. Also, the minimal polynomial of the braiding R-matrix of T-sp is presented explicitly in an ingenious method by taking advantage of nice features of the spin representation T-sp.
