Rump proved in \cite[Theorem~1]{Rump2018ClassificationOC} that if a finite skew brace has cyclic additive group, then its multiplicative group is solvable and almost Sylow cyclic. In this paper we show that this rigidity persists when the…
A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if $A$ is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group, then the multiplicative group of $A$ is solvable. In this short note we make a step towards positive solution of this conjecture…
We study relations between the additive and the multiplicative groups of a two-sided skew brace. In particular, we prove that if the additive group of a two-sided skew brace is finite solvable (respectively, finitely generated nilpotent,…
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…
A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if $A=(A,\oplus,\odot)$ is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group $A_{\oplus}$, then the multiplicative group $A_{\odot}$ of $A$ is also solvable. Proving or disproving this…
We prove a structure theorem for finite perfect two-sided skew braces. The main tool is a central product theory for skew braces, developed here in both external and internal form; we show that these two constructions are equivalent. Our…
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…
We prove that if $(B,+,\cdot)$ is a two-sided skew brace whose additive group is solvable, then every finite quotient of the multiplicative group $(B,\cdot)$ is solvable. In particular, our result recovers Nasybullov's theorem in the finite…
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…
We study compact and locally compact topological analogues of the Byott--Vendramin solvability problem for finite skew braces, asking whether solvability of the additive group forces solvability of the multiplicative group. Our main theorem…
We study simplicity of Lie skew braces from both global and infinitesimal perspectives. After reviewing the correspondence between connected Lie skew braces, simply transitive affine actions, and post-Lie algebras, we investigate ideals and…
We investigate structural and rigidity properties of \emph{Lie skew braces} (LSBs), objects essentially known in the literature as \emph{post--Lie groups}, obtained by endowing a manifold with two compatible group laws that share the same…
A complete description of all possible multiplicative groups of finite skew left braces whose additive group has trivial centre is shown. As a consequence, some earlier results of Tsang can be improved and an answer to an open question set…
Skew braces play a central role in the theory of set-theoretic non-degenerate solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation, since their algebraic properties significantly affect the behaviour of the corresponding solutions (see for example…
Braces are generalizations of radical rings, introduced by Rump to study involutive non-degenerate set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE). Skew braces were also recently introduced as a tool to study not necessarily…
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…
The aim of this paper is to study supersoluble skew braces, a class of skew braces that encompasses all finite skew braces of square-free order. It turns out that finite supersoluble skew braces have Sylow towers, and that in an arbitrary…
Skew braces are intensively studied owing to their wide ranging connections and applications. We generalize the definition of a skew brace to give a new algebraic object, which we term a skew bracoid. Our construction involves two groups…
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 $G$…
In order to study two-sided skew braces, we introduce the notion of weakly trivial skew braces. We give a classification of such skew braces and show that they are essential in the study of two-sided skew braces. As an application, we…
