Computing the associated groups of quandles with tools from group homology theory

Geometric Topology 2024-02-26 v1

Abstract

We give a complete description of the associated group of any quandle as a central extension of the inner-automorphism group. As an application, we compute the second quandle homology groups of quandles of some families, including those of Alexander quandles.
