The Yang–Baxter equation (YBE) is a fundamental equation of mathematical physics that has been extensively studied in the last few years. Alongside it, the reflection equation serves as a significant tool in the theory of quantum groups and integrable systems, which was first investigated in 1984 by Cherednik. In 2013, Caudrelier, Crampé, and Zhang formulated the set-theoretic version of this equation, and, later on, some new results were obtained mainly concerning involutive and non-degenerate solutions.

This talk aims to present a strategy for determining reflections to left non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions (X, r) of the YBE as provided in a joint work with A. Albano and M. Mazzotta, and obtained by examining the behaviour of these solutions with their derived solutions or, equivalently, with (left) self-distributive structures associated with them. Our approach is strongly motivated by a recent description of left non-degenerate solutions (X, r) in terms of Drinfel'd twist, namely, a family of automorphisms of the shelf associated with (X, r), which is obtained in a joint paper with A. Doikou and B. Rybołowicz.
