TL;DR
This work extends the study of Dedekind left braces to the non-periodic additive setting, establishing practical abelianity criteria and a detailed structural description for multipermutational level 2. It shows that if every element is $2$-nilpotent under the star operation, or if a hypermultipermutational Dedekind brace has a torsion-free socle, then the brace is abelian, with implications for corresponding YBE twist solutions. The authors connect these results to set-theoretic Yang–Baxter solutions and provide a comprehensive decomposition framework for non-periodic, mp–level-2 Dedekind braces, highlighting how socle layers govern global structure and abelianity. Collectively, the results contribute to the classification of YBE solutions through tractable algebraic criteria and a clear structural picture of non-periodic Dedekind braces.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to take the study of Dedekind braces, that is, left braces for which every subbrace is an ideal, started in a previous paper, further. Dedekind braces $A$ whose additive group is non-periodic are analysed. We prove sufficient conditions for $A$ to be abelian: it is enough that every element is $2$-nilpotent for the star operation; and, if $A$ is hypermultipermutational, it suffices that the additive group of the socle is torsion-free. Both conditions can be translated in terms of set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. In addition, we prove a structural theorem for the case of $A$ to be a multipermutational brace of level $2$.
