On classification of dynamical ${\bf r}$-matrices

Using the gauge transformations of the Classical Dynamical Yang-Baxter Equation introduced by P. Etingof and A. Varchenko in \cite{EV}, we reduce the classification of dynamical r-matrices $r$ on a commutative subalgebra $\frak{l}$ of a Lie algebra $\g$ to a purely algebraic problem, under some assumption on the symmetric part of $r$. We then describe, for a simple complex Lie algebra $\frak{g}$, all non skew-symmetric dynamical r-matrices on a commutative subalgebra $\frak{l} \subset\fral{g}$ which contains a regular semisimple element. This interpolates results of P. Etingof and A. Varchenko (\cite{EV}, when $\frac{l}$ is a Cartan subalgebra) and results of A. Belavin and V. Drinfeld for constant r-matrices (\cite{BD}). This classification is similar, and in some sense simpler than the Belavin-Drinfeld classification.
