Idea

A Yangian is a certain quantum group that arises naturally in integrable systems in quantum field theory, as well as in semi-holomorphic 4d Chern-Simons theory.

Review in the context of AdS-CFT includes

In

is discussed that the holomorphically twisted N=1 D=4 super Yang-Mills theory is controled by the Yangian in analogy to how Chern-Simons theory is controled by a quantum group. See at semi-holomorphic 4d Chern-Simons theory.
