We construct all skew braces of size $pq$ (where $p>q$ are primes) by using Byott's classification of Hopf--Galois extensions of the same degree. For $p\not\equiv 1 \pmod{q}$ there exists only one skew brace which is the trivial one. When…

In this paper we enumerate the skew braces of non-abelian type of size $p^2q$ for $p,q$ primes with $q>2$ by the classification of regular subgroups of the holomorph of the non-abelian groups of the same order. Since Crespo dealt with the…

This is the first part of a series of two articles. In this paper we enumerate and classify the left braces of size $p^2q$ where $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers by the classification of regular subgroups of the holomorph of the…

In this paper we enumerate the skew braces of size $p^2q$ for $p,q$ odd primes by the classification of regular subgroups of the holomorph of the groups of size $p^2q$. In particular, we provide explicit formulas for the skew braces of…

It is a simple fact that a group has a trivial automorphism group if and only if it is of order $1$ or $2$. We prove that the same holds for certain families of skew braces, and given any odd prime $p$, we construct a skew brace of order…

Let $n \geq 1$ be a squarefree integer, and let $M$, $A$ be two groups of order $n$. Using our previous results on the enumeration of Hopf-Galois structures on Galois extensions of fields of squarefree degree, we determine the number of…

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…

A skew brace is a triplet $(A,\cdot,\circ)$, where $(A,\cdot)$ and $(A,\circ)$ are groups such that the brace relation $x\circ (y\cdot z) = (x\circ y)\cdot x^{-1}\cdot (x\circ z)$ holds for all $x,y,z\in A$. In this paper, we study the…

Given a prime $p$, we construct a permutation group containing at least $p^{p-2}$ non-conjugated regular elementary abelian subgroups of order $p^3$. This gives the first example of a permutation group with exponentially many non-conjugated…

Let $n\geq 1$ be an integer, $p$, $q$ be distinct odd primes. Let ${G}$, $N$ be two groups of order $p^nq$ with their Sylow-$p$-subgroups being cyclic. We enumerate the Hopf-Galois structures on a Galois ${G}$-extension, with type $N$. This…

In this paper, we study the irreducible representations of skew braces of order \( pq \), which is equivalent to studying the representation theory of groups of order \( p^2q^2 \) arising from skew left braces, where \( p > q \) are primes.…

A skew brace $A = (A,\cdot,\circ)$ is said to be \textit{left-simple} if $A\neq1$ and it has no left ideal other than $1$ and $A$. The purpose of this paper is to give a partial classification of the finite left-simple skew braces. A result…

We study finite skew braces whose multiplicative group is characteristically simple, namely of the form \(S^n\) for a finite simple group \(S\). Motivated by the strong rigidity phenomena known for skew braces with simple or quasisimple…

We introduce two common divisor graphs associated with a finite skew brace, based on its $\lambda$- and $\theta$-orbits. We prove that the number of connected components is at most two and the diameter of a connected component is at most…

We show that certain twisting deformations of a family of supersolvable groups are simple as Hopf algebras. These groups are direct products of two generalized dihedral groups. Examples of this construction arise in dimensions 60 and…

We consider relatively prime integer numbers $m$ and $n$ such that each solvable group of order $mn$ has a normal subgroup of order $m$. We prove that each brace of size $mn$ is a semidirect product of a brace of size $m$ and a brace of…

We give an infinite family of non-abelian strongly real Beauville $p$-groups for any odd prime $p$ by considering the lower central quotients of the free product of two cyclic groups of order $p$. This is the first known infinite family of…

In our previous paper, we gave a complete list of the finite non-abelian simple groups whose holomorph contains a solvable regular subgroup. In this paper, we refine our previous work by considering all finite almost simple groups. In…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper we provide a construction which gives four non-Schurian association schemes for every $p\geq 5$ and two for $p=3$. This construction is explained using incidences between points and lines of a biaffine…

In this article we classify the left braces of order $p^2q$ where $p,q$ are primes fulfilling $q > p+1$. This classification includes a proof of three conjectures of Guarnieri and Vendramin (\cite[Conjectures 6.2-6.4]{Vendramin_skew})…
