Bisoluble and Binilpotent Skew Braces of Finite Morley Rank

Maria Ferrara, Moreno Invitti, Marco Trombetti +1

A connected skew brace of finite Morley rank is left nilpotent (resp. weakly soluble) whenever the additive and multiplicative groups are nilpotent (resp. are soluble and the left…

A probabilistic approach to the Yang--Baxter equation and skew braces

Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti, Cindy Tsang

We investigate finite non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation and skew braces using a probabilistic approach. We introduce four probabilities that measu…

A Counterexample to Byott's Conjecture for Finite Skew Braces

Massimiliano Di Matteo, Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti

We construct a finite skew brace with soluble additive group and insoluble multiplicative group. The multiplicative group has a quotient isomorphic to $\PSL_2(7)$, and hence the ex…

Finite-index Problems in Skew Braces

Massimiliano Di Matteo, Maria Ferrara

We investigate finite-index problems in skew braces. For every sub-skew brace \(A\) of a skew brace \(B\), we prove that finite additive index is equivalent to finite multiplicativ…

A Finite Skew Brace with Perfect Additive Group and Almost Simple Multiplicative Group

Massimiliano Di Matteo, Maria Ferrara

We construct a finite skew brace whose additive group is perfect and whose multiplicative group is non-perfect and almost simple. This gives an affirmative answer to Problem 20.109…

Chain conditions on skew braces and solutions of the Yang-Baxter Equation

Massimiliano Di Matteo, Ramón Esteban-Romero, Maria Ferrara +1

Classical works of Hall and McLain show that solubility and local nilpotency play a key role in deriving finite generation in groups from maximal or minimal conditions on normal su…

On cardinalities whose arithmetical properties determine the structure of solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation

Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti, Cindy Tsang

The aim of this paper is to provide purely arithmetical characterisations of those natural numbers for which every non-degenerate set-theoretic solution of cardinality of t…

Skew Braces from a model-theoretic point of view 1

Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti, Moreno Invitti +1

Skew braces are one of the main algebraic tools controlling the structure of a non-degenerate bijective set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. The aim of this paper is…

On Dedekind Skew Braces

A. Caranti, I. Del Corso, M. Di Matteo +2

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 beha…

On the Sylow Theorem for Skew Braces

A. Caranti, I. Del Corso, M. Di Matteo +2

We discuss the (first) Sylow theorem for certain classes of finite skew braces, proving it to hold true when the skew brace is two-sided, bi-skew, right nilpotent, -homomorphic…

Finite skew braces of square-free order and supersolubility

Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches, Ramón Esteban-Romero, Maria Ferrara +2

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 supersolub…

Central nilpotency of left skew braces and solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches, Ramón Esteban-Romero, Maria Ferrara +2

Nipotency of skew braces is related to certain types of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. This paper delves into the study of centrally nilpotent skew braces. In particular, w…

Joins of -subnormal subgroups

Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti

Let be a partition of the set of all prime numbers. A subgroup of a finite group is~\textit{-subnormal} in if there exists a cha…

A note on right-nil and strong-nil skew braces

Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches, Maria Ferrara, Vicent Pérez-Calabuig +1

The aim of this short note is to completely answer Questions 2.34 and 2.35 of arXiv:1806.01127. In particular, we show that a finite strong-nil skew brace of abelian type need…

On derived-indecomposable solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation

Ilaria Colazzo, Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti

If is a finite non-degenerate set-theoretic solution of the Yang--Baxter equation, the additive group of the structure skew brace is an -group, i.e. a group wh…
