Skew braces of size $pq$

Abstract

We construct all skew braces of size pqpq (where p>qp>q are primes) by using Byott's classification of Hopf--Galois extensions of the same degree. For p≢1(modq)p\not\equiv 1 \pmod{q} there exists only one skew brace which is the trivial one. When p1(modq)p\equiv 1 \pmod{q}, we have 2q+22q+2 skew braces, two of which are of cyclic type (so, contained in Rump's classification) and 2q2q of non-abelian type.
