Classifying links and spatial graphs with finite $N$-quandles

The fundamental quandle is a complete invariant for unoriented tame knots \cite{JO, Ma} and non-split links \cite{FR}. The proof involves proving a relationship between the components of the fundamental quandle and the cosets of the peripheral subgroup(s) in the fundamental group of the knot or link. We extend these relationships to spatial graphs, and to $N$-quandles of links and spatial graphs. As an application, we are able to give a complete list of links with finite $N$-quandles, proving a conjecture from \cite{MS}, and a partial list of spatial graphs with finite $N$-quandles.
