We define biquandle structures on a given quandle, and show that any biquandle is given by some biquandle structure on its underlying quandle. By determining when two biquandle structures yield isomorphic biquandles, we obtain a…
Two finite Alexander quandles with the same number of elements are isomorphic iff their Z[t,t^-1]-submodules Im(1-t) are isomorphic as modules. This yields specific conditions on when Alexander quandles of the form Z_n[t,t^-1]/(t-a) where…
Let $G$ be a group and $\varphi \in \Aut(G)$. Then the set $G$ equipped with the binary operation $a*b=\varphi(ab^{-1})b$ gives a quandle structure on $G$, denoted by $\Alex(G, \varphi)$ and called the generalised Alexander quandle. When…
The aim of this paper is to provide a new characterization of isomorphism classes of generalized Alexander quandles in terms of the underlying groups and their automorphisms. This extends the previous result [4, Theorem 1.4]. Additionally,…
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 $G$ are simple, then the quandle isomorphic classes of…
Isomorphism classes of Alexander quandles of order 16 are determined, and classes of connected quandles are identified. This paper extends the list of known distinct connected finite Alexander quandles.
The paper establishes new relationship between cohomology, extensions and automorphisms of quandles. We derive a four term exact sequence relating quandle 1-cocycles, second quandle cohomology and certain group of automorphisms of an…
In the paper we describe the class of principal quandles and show that connected quandles can be decomposed as a disjoint union of principal quandles. We also prove that simple affine quandles are finite and they can be characterized among…
We introduce a notion of natural orderings of elements of finite connected quandles of order $n$. When the elements of such a quandle $Q$ are already ordered naturally, any automophism on $Q$ is a natural ordering. Although there are many…
We show that the adjoint group of the Alexander quandle associated to an abelian group M and an automorphism T has a nice description in terms of M and T.
In this paper we provide the conditions under which an automorphism or an antiautomorphism of a group $G$ induces an automorphism or an antiautomorphism of the $m$-conjugation quandle $\operatorname{Conj_{m}}(G),\,\, m\in \mathbb{Z} $, the…
Quandles are self-distributive algebraic structures known as sources of strong knots invariants, but also appearing in other contexts. From any quandle, one can construct two invariants: the structure group and the second quandle homology…
In this paper, we investigate a quandle structure induced by an augmented rack arising from a gauge transformation group. We construct a quandle from a principal bundle and its discrete generalization. When we see a group as a (discrete)…
Quandle is an algebraic system with one binary operation, but it is quite different from a group. Quandle has its origin in the knot theory and good relationships with the theory of symmetric spaces, so it is well-studied from points of…
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…
We explore residually finite and profinite quandles. We prove that the endomorphism monoid and the automorphism group of finitely generated residually finite quandles are residually finite. In fact, we establish the similar result for a…
For any twisted conjugate quandle $Q$, and in particular any Alexander quandle, there exists a group $G$ such that $Q$ is embedded into the conjugation quandle of $G$.
Finite quandles with n elements can be represented as n-by-n matrices. We show how to use these matrices to distinguish all isomorphism classes of finite quandles for a given cardinality n, as well as how to compute the automorphism group…
Cocycles are constructed by polynomial expressions for Alexander quandles. As applications, non-triviality of some quandle homology groups are proved, and quandle cocycle invariants of knots are studied. In particular, for an infinite…
We describe an algorithm for determining whether a finite quandle is isomorphic to an Alexander quandle by finding all possible Alexander presentations of the quandle. We give an implementation of this algorithm in Maple.
