On Gr\"{u}n's lemma for perfect skew braces

Abstract

By previous work of Ced\'{o}, Smoktunowicz, and Vendramin, one already knows that the analog of Gr\"{u}n's lemma fails to hold for perfect skew left braces when the socle is used as an analog of the center of a group. In this paper, we use the annihilator instead of the socle. We shall show that the analog of Gr\"{u}n's lemma holds for perfect two-sided skew braces but not in general.
