Abstract: A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if $A$ is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group, then the multiplicative group of $A$ is solvable. In this short note we make a step towards positive solution of this conjecture proving that if $A$ is a minimal finite skew brace with solvable additive group and non-solvable multiplicative group, then the multiplicative group of $A$ is not simple. On the way to obtaining this result, we prove that the conjecture of A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin is correct in the case when the order of $A$ is not divisible by $3$.

Review text

Using the language of Hopf-Galois extensions, in [New York J. Math. 21, 883--903 (2015; Zbl 1358.12001)] \textit{N. P. Byott} stated the following problem: Let \(A\) be a finite skew brace with additive solvable group. Is then the multiplicative group of \(A\) solvable? In this paper. the authors prove that the multiplicative group of a minimal counterexample to Byott's question cannot be simple. As an application, Byott's question has an affirmative answer for all skew braces of size not divisible by three.
