Hopf formulae for homology of skew braces
arXiv:2409.18056 · doi:10.1016/j.jpaa.2025.108085
Abstract
The variety of skew braces contains several interesting subcategories as subvarieties, as for instance the varieties of radical rings, of groups and of abelian groups. In this article the methods of non-abelian homological algebra are applied to establish some new Hopf formulae for homology of skew braces, where the coefficient functors are the reflectors from the variety of skew braces to each of the three above-mentioned subvarieties. The corresponding central extensions of skew braces are characterized in purely algebraic terms, leading to some new results, such as an explicit Stallings-Stammbach exact sequence associated with any exact sequence of skew braces, and a new result concerning central series.
