Automorphisms and antiautomorphisms of quandles

Abstract

In this paper we provide the conditions under which an automorphism or an antiautomorphism of a group GG induces an automorphism or an antiautomorphism of the mm-conjugation quandle Conjm(G),mZ\operatorname{Conj_{m}}(G),\,\, m\in \mathbb{Z} , the core quandle Core(G)\operatorname{Core}(G), the generalized Alexander quandle Alex(G,ϕ)\operatorname{Alex}(G,\phi) where ϕAut(G)\phi\in \operatorname{Aut}(G) and some others. We also construct automorphisms of these quandles that do not originate from GG.
