On left braces in which every subbrace is an ideal II

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 $2$.
