Abstract

We describe a relationship of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation with the following elementary problem for Clifford algebras: Given a vector space $V$ with quadratic form $\mathcal{Q}_V$, how is the exponential of an element in $\wedge^2(V)$ under exterior algebra multiplication related to its exponential under Clifford multiplication?
