Enumeration of racks and quandles up to isomorphism

Quantum Algebra 2019-11-13 v1

Abstract

Racks and quandles are prominent set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We enumerate racks and quandles of orders n13n\le 13 up to isomorphism, improving upon the previously known results for n8n\le 8 and n9n\le 9, respectively. The enumeration is based on the classification of subgroups of small symmetric groups up to conjugation, on a representation of racks and quandles in symmetric groups due to Joyce and Blackburn, and on a number of theoretical and computational observations concerning the representation. We explicitly find representatives of isomorphism types of racks of order 11\le 11 and quandles of order 12\le 12. For the remaining orders we merely count the isomorphism types, relying in part on the enumeration of 22-reductive racks and 22-reductive quandles due to Jedli\v{c}ka, Pilitowska, Stanovsk\'y and Zamojska-Dzienio.
