An abundance of simple left braces with abelian multiplicative Sylow subgroups (Q1998665)

Braces are generalizations of radical rings and appear in the work of Rump as the right algebraic tool for studying involutive set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. A brace is a set \(A\) with two compatible group structures, the additive group \((A,+)\) and the multiplicative group \((A,\circ)\) of \(A\). Since braces are ring-theoretical objects, one defines ideals and quotients of braces. Simple braces are those braces with no non-trivial proper ideals. A challenging problem in the theory of braces is the classification of finite simple braces. The authors construct several families of simple new braces, showing that there is an abundance of finite simple braces even under particular assumptions.
