Abstract: We define a bi-skew brace to be a set G with two group operations star and circ so that (G,circ,star) is a skew brace with additive group (G,star) and also with additive group (G,circ). If G is a skew brace, then G corresponds to a Hopf Galois structure of type (G,star) on any Galois extension of fields with Galois group isomorphic to (G,circ). If G is a bi-skew brace, then G also corresponds to a Hopf Galois structure of type (G,circ) on a Galois extension of fields with Galois group isomorphic to (G,star). Many non-trivial examples exist. One source is radical rings A with A3=0, where one of the groups is abelian and the other need not be. The left braces of degree p3 classified by Bachiller are bi-skew braces if and only they are radical rings. A different source of bi-skew braces is semidirect products of arbitrary finite groups, which yield many examples where both groups are non-abelian, and a skew brace proof of a result of Crespo, Rio and Vela that if G=HtimesJ is a semidirect product of finite groups, then a Galois extension of fields with Galois group G has a Hopf Galois structure of type HimesJ.
