Commuting probability of skew left braces
Abstract
We introduce a concept of the commuting probability of a skew left brace analogous to group theory. We establish upper and lower bounds for the commuting probability and prove that, for finite non-trivial skew left braces, it is always at most . Interestingly, there is no skew left brace with commuting probability in the open interval , except , for which we construct an explicit example. A characterization of skew left braces having commuting probability or is presented. We further show that the finite skew left braces with commuting probability larger than are necessarily nilpotent. We prove that the commuting probability remains invariant under isoclinism of skew braces. We introduce a concept of a compact Hausdorff topological skew left brace , where we prove that the set of all elements of having finite centraliser index in is a Borel subgroup. For such infinite non-trivial skew left braces too is the upper bound for the commuting probability, and is the only rational number which occurs as commuting probability in the open interval .
