Canonical forms for operation tables of finiate connected quandles

Abstract

We introduce a notion of natural orderings of elements of finite connected quandles of order nn. When the elements of such a quandle QQ are already ordered naturally, any automophism on QQ is a natural ordering. Although there are many natural orderings, the operation tables for such orderings coincide when the permutation q*q is a cycle of length n1n-1. This leads to the classification of automorphisms on such a quandle. Moreover, it is also shown that every row and column of the operation table of such a quandle contains all the elements of QQ, which is due to K. Oshiro. We also consider the general case of finite connected quandles.
