We define a bi-skew brace to be a set $G$ with two group operations $\star$ and $\circ$ so that $(G, \circ, \star)$ is a skew brace with additive group $(G, \star)$ and also with additive group $(G, \circ)$. If $G$ is a skew brace, then $G$…
Let $p, q$ be distinct primes, with $p > 2$. In a previous paper we classified the Hopf-Galois structures on Galois extensions of degree $p^{2} q$, when the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the Galois group are cyclic. This is equivalent to…
We consider Hopf-Galois structures on separable (but not necessarily normal) field extensions $L/K$ of squarefree degree $n$. If $E/K$ is the normal closure of $L/K$ then $G=\mathrm{Gal}(E/K)$ can be viewed as a permutation group of degree…
Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$, an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $n$ for $p$ an odd prime. It is known that nilpotent $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra structures $A$ on $G$ yield regular subgroups of the…
We determine the finite non-abelian simple groups which occur as the type of a Hopf-Galois structure on a solvable extension. In the language of skew braces, our result gives a complete list of finite non-abelian simple groups which occur…
Let $G$ be a finite nonabelian group, and let $\psi:G\to G$ be a homomorphism with abelian image. We show how $\psi$ gives rise to two Hopf-Galois structures on a Galois extension $L/K$ with Galois group (isomorphic to) $G$; one of these…
Let $p$ be prime. Let $L/K$ be a finite, totally ramified, purely inseparable extension of local fields, $\left[ L:K\right] =p^{n},\;n\geq2.$ It is known that $L/K$ is Hopf Galois for numerous Hopf algebras $H,$ each of which can act on the…
Let $n$ be a squarefree natural number, and let $G$, $\Gamma$ be two groups of order $n$. We determine the number of Hopf-Galois structures of type $G$ admitted by a Galois extension of fields with Galois group isomorphic to $\Gamma$. We…
We describe all $\mathbb F_{p}$-braces of cardinality $p^{4}$ which are not right nilpotent. Our solution illustrates a general way of investigating $\mathbb F_{p}$-braces of cardinality $p^{n}$ with a given multiplicative group. The…
$\DeclareMathOperator{\Aut}{Aut}$Let $p, q$ be distinct primes, with $p > 2$. We classify the Hopf-Galois structures on Galois extensions of degree $p^{2} q$, such that the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the Galois group are cyclic. This we do,…
In this paper, we study the Hopf-Galois structures on a finite Galois extension whose Galois group $G$ is an almost simple group in which the socle $A$ has prime index $p$. Each Hopf-Galois structure is associated to a group $N$ of the same…
Let $L/K$ be a $G$-Galois extension of fields with an $H$-Hopf Galois structure of type $N$. We study the ratio $GC(G, N)$, which is the number of intermediate fields $E$ with $K \subseteq E \subseteq L$ that are in the image of the Galois…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number. For a degree $p$ extension of $p$-adic fields $L/K$, we give a complete characterization of the condition for the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_L$ to be free as a module over its associated order in the…
Let $G$ and $N$ be two finite groups of the same order. It is well-known that the existences of the following are equivalent: (a) a Hopf-Galois structure of type $N$ on any Galois $G$-extension; (b) a skew brace with additive group $N$ and…
The work of Greither and Pareigis details the enumeration of the Hopf-Galois structures (if any) on a given separable field extension. For an extension $L/K$ which is classically Galois with $G=Gal(L/K)$ the Hopf algebras in question are of…
Let $n>1$, $e\geq 0$ and a prime number $p\geq 2^{n+2+2e}+3$, such that the index of regularity of $p$ is $\leq e$. We show that there are infinitely many irreducible Galois representations $\rho: Gal(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow…
Let $G$ be a nonabelian group. We show how a collection of compatible endomorphisms $\psi_i:G\to G$ such that $\psi_i([G,G])\le Z(G)$ for all $i$ allows us to construct a family of bi-skew braces called a brace block. We relate this…
We study Hopf Galois extensions of Hopf algebroids as a generalization of the theory for Hopf algebras. More precisely, we introduce (skew-)regular comodules and generalize the structure theorem for relative Hopf modules. Also, we show that…
A Hopf Galois structure on a finite field extension L/K is given by a finite cocommutative K-Hopf algebra and a Hopf action. In this paper we present an algorithm written in the computational algebra system Magma which gives all Hopf Galois…
Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension whose Galois group $G$ is non-abelian and characteristically simple. Using tools from graph theory, we shall give a closed formula for the number of Hopf-Galois structures on $L/K$ with associated…
