Abstract
We describe a relation between the dynamical twist J(λ) and the extremal projector for simple Lie algebras. This correspondence finds two obvious applications: first, the solution of the Arnaudon–Buffenoir–Ragoucy–Roche equation can be obtained from the known multiplicative expression for the extremal projector; second, the structure constants are determined by the matrix coefficients of the dynamical twist.
