Skew braces of size $p^2q$ II: non-abelian type

In this paper we enumerate the skew braces of non-abelian type of size $p^2q$ for $p,q$ primes with $q>2$ by the classification of regular subgroups of the holomorph of the non-abelian groups of the same order. Since Crespo dealt with the case $q=2$, this paper completes the enumeration of skew braces of size $p^2q$ started in a previous work by the authors. In some cases, we provide also a structural description of the skew braces. As an application, we prove a conjecture posed by V. Bardakov, M. Neshchadim and M. Yadav.

Skew braces of size $p^2q$ I: abelian type

This is the first part of a series of two articles. In this paper we enumerate and classify the left braces of size $p^2q$ where $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers by the classification of regular subgroups of the holomorph of the abelian groups of the same order. We also provide the formulas that define the constructed braces.

Skew braces of size $pq$

We construct all skew braces of size $pq$ (where $p>q$ are primes) by using Byott's classification of Hopf--Galois extensions of the same degree. For $p\not\equiv 1 \pmod{q}$ there exists only one skew brace which is the trivial one. When $p\equiv 1 \pmod{q}$, we have $2q+2$ skew braces, two of which are of cyclic type (so, contained in Rump's classification) and $2q$ of non-abelian type.

Retractability of solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation and $p$-nilpotency of skew braces

Using Bieberbach groups we study multipermutation involutive solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. We use a linear representation of the structure group of an involutive solution to study the unique product property in such groups. An algorithm to find subgroups of a Bieberbach group isomorphic to the Promislow subgroup is introduced and then used in the case of structure group of involutive solutions. To extend the results related to retractability to non-involutive solutions, following the ideas of Meng, Ballester-Bolinches and Romero, we develop the theory of right $p$-nilpotent skew braces. The theory of left $p$-nilpotent skew braces is also developed and used to give a short proof of a theorem of Smoktunowicz in the context of skew braces.
