A homogeneous presentation of symmetric quandles

Abstract

A quandle is an algebraic structure whose axioms correspond to the Reidemeister moves of knot theory. S. Kamada introduced the notion of a quandle with a good involution, which is later called a symmetric quandle. We are interested in the algebraic structure of symmetric quandles. Given a group GG, an element zz and a certain subgroup HH, one can obtain the quandle. D. Joyce showed that every quandle is isomorphic to the disjoint union of such quandles. In this paper, given a group GG, elements z,rz,r in GG and a certain subgroup HH, we construct a symmetric quandle. Futhermore, we show that every symmetric quandle is isomorphic to the disjoint union of such quandles.
