Abstract: Braces were introduced by Rump to study involutive non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. A constructive method for producing all such finite solutions from a description of all finite left braces has been recently discovered. It is thus a fundamental problem to construct and classify all simple left braces, as they can be considered as building blocks for the general theory. This program recently has been initiated by Bachiller and the authors. In this paper we study the simple finite left braces such that the Sylow subgroups of their multiplicative groups are abelian. We provide several new families of such simple left braces. In particular, they lead to the main, surprising result, that shows that there is an abundance of such simple left braces.


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.
