Abstract: Skew braces are ring-theoretical algebraic structures to study
non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation. A
typical example of a skew brace is a Jacobson radical ring. In this
talk, we will discuss the basic properties of skew braces and how
these structures are related to the celebrated Yang–Baxter equation.
We will also discuss connections with groups and non-commutative
rings.
