Quandles with one non-trivial column

Quantum Algebra 2024-01-31 v3 Geometric Topology

Abstract

The axioms of a quandle imply that the columns of its Cayley table are permutations. This paper studies quandles with exactly one non-trivially permuted column. Their automorphism groups, quandle polynomials, (symmetric) cohomology groups, and HomHom quandles are studied. The quiver and cocycle invariant of links using these quandles are shown to relate to linking number.
