Byott's insolvability conjecture for realizable group pairs

Let GG and NN be finite groups of the same order. The pair (G,N)(G,N) is realizable if there exists a regular subgroup of Hol(N)\operatorname{Hol}(N) isomorphic to GG; equivalently, there is a skew brace with additive group isomorphic to NN and multiplicative group isomorphic to GG.

Byott's conjecture. If (G,N)(G,N) is realizable and GG is insolvable, then NN is also insolvable.

This conjecture concerns restrictions on the group types of Hopf–Galois structures and skew braces. The converse is false, so realizability does not imply that GG is insolvable whenever NN is.
