Abstract

The goal of this paper is to characterization generalized Alexander quandles of finite groups in the language of the underlying groups. Firstly, we prove that if finite groups GG are simple, then the quandle isomorphic classes of generalized Alexander quandles of GG one-to-one correspond to the conjugacy classes of the automorphism groups of GG. This correspondence can be also claimed for the case of symmetric groups. Secondly, we give a characterization of generalized Alexander quandles of finite groups GG under some assumptions in terms of GG. As corollaries of this characterization, we obtain several characterizations in some particular groups, e.g., abelian groups and dihedral groups. Finally, we perform a characterization of generalized Alexander quandles arising from groups with their order up to 1515.
