Abstract

In 2020, Alabdali and Byott described the Hopf-Galois structures arising on Galois field extensions of squarefree degree. Extending to squarefree separable, but not necessarily normal, extensions L/KL/K is a natural next step. One must consider now the interplay between two Galois groups G=Gal(E/K)G=\operatorname{Gal}(E/K) and G=Gal(E/L)G'=\operatorname{Gal}(E/L), where EE is the Galois closure of L/KL/K. In this paper, we give a characterisation and enumeration of the Hopf-Galois structures arising on separable extensions of degree pqpq where pp and qq are distinct odd primes. This work includes the results of Byott and Martin-Lyons who do likewise for the special case that p=2q+1p=2q+1.
