Some semidirect products of skew braces arising in Hopf-Galois theory (2025)
Journal Article
Truman, P. J. (2026). Some semidirect products of skew braces arising in Hopf-Galois theory. Journal of Algebra, 687, 825 - 850. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jalgebra.2025.10.004

We classify skew braces that are the semidirect product of an ideal and a left ideal. As a consequence, given a Galois extension of fields L/K whose Galois group is the semidirect product of a normal subgroup A and a subgroup B, we classify the Hopf-...

Constructing skew bracoids via abelian maps, and solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation (2025)
Journal Article
Koch, A., & Truman, P. J. (2025). Constructing skew bracoids via abelian maps, and solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. Journal of Algebra, 684, 336-353. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jalgebra.2025.07.013

We show how one can use the skew braces constructed using abelian maps to generate families of skew bracoids as defined by Martin-Lyons and Truman. Under certain circumstances, these bracoids give right non-degenerate solutions to the Yang-Baxter equ...

Skew bracoids have been shown to have applications in Hopf-Galois theory. We show that a certain family of skew bracoids correspond bijectively with left cancellative semibraces. A consequence of this correspondence is that skew bracoids in this fami... Read More about Skew bracoids containing a skew brace.

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 \textit{skew bracoid}. Our construction involves two groups int... Read More about Skew Bracoids.

We obtain a simple family of solutions to the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter equation, one which depends only on considering special endomorphisms of a finite group. We show how such an endomorphism gives rise to two non-degenerate solutions to the Yang-B... Read More about Abelian fixed point free endomorphisms and the Yang-Baxter equation.

Given a skew left brace B, we introduce the notion of an \opposite" skew left brace B0, which is closely related to the concept of the opposite of a group, and provide several applications.
