On irreducible representations of conjugacy quandles
Abstract
For a finite group, one way to construct irreducible quandle representations over of the conjugacy quandle is by taking the product of an irreducible linear group representation of by what we call a quandle character of (a quandle morphism into ). We show that these are all the irreducible quandle representations of over if and only if all the symmetric -cocyles over ( for all ) with values in are coboundaries. For instance, this is the case of groups with trivial Bogomolov multiplier. We apply this to study the enveloping group of . If finite satisfies the previous condition on symmetric -cocycles, we obtain that the enveloping group of injects into where is the number of the conjugacy classes of . If moreover is perfect the injection is an isomorphism.
