In this paper we obtain the classification of latin quandles of size $16p$ where $p$ is an odd prime. In particular we have that such quandles are always subdirectly reducible but in some cases for small primes. Specifically, we have that…

In this paper we provide an alternative characterization of finite simply connected quandles involving only cocycles with values in abelian groups of prime size. As a corollary of such a characterization and the classification of connected…

We establish a canonical correspondence between connected quandles and certain configurations in transitive groups, called quandle envelopes. This correspondence allows us to efficiently enumerate connected quandles of small orders, and…

We develop some general ideas to study connected quandles of prime power size and we classify non-affine connected quandles of size $p^3$ for $p>3$, using a combination of group theoretical and universal algebraic tools. As a byproduct we…

In this article, we define quasiprimitive quandles and describe them with the help of quasiprimitive permutation groups. As a consequence, we enumerate finite non-affine simple quandles up to order $4096$.

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 classify indecomposable racks of order p^2 (p a prime). There are 2p^2 - 2p - 2 isomorphism classes, among which 2p^2 - 3p - 1 correspond to quandles. In particular, we prove that an indecomposable quandle of order p^2 is affine…

Quandles are self-distributive, right-invertible, idempotent algebras. A group with conjugation for binary operation is an example of a quandle. Given a quandle $(Q, \ast)$ and a positive integer $n$, define $a\ast_n b = (\cdots (a\ast…

A quandle will be called quasi-affine, if it embeds into an affine quandle. Our main result is a characterization of quasi-affine quandles, by group-theoretic properties of their displacement group, by a universal algebraic condition coming…

We prove that a non-affine latin quandle (also known as left distributive quasigroup) of order $2^k$ exists if and only if $k = 6$ or $k \geq 8$. The construction is expressed in terms of central extensions of affine quandles.

A quandle is a self-distributive algebraic structure that appears in quasi-group and knot theories. For each abelian group A and c \in A we define a quandle G(A, c) on \Z_3 \times A. These quandles are generalizations of a class of…

A (left) quandle is connected if its left multiplication group acts transitively. In 2014, Eisermann introduced the concept of quandle coverings, corresponding to so-called constant quandle cocycles that form a subset of quandle cocycles. A…

In this paper we contribute to the classification of Hopf algebras of dimension pq, where p,q are distinct prime numbers. More precisely, we prove that if p and q are odd primes with p<q<2p+3, then any complex Hopf algebra of dimension pq…

It is the purpose of this note to classify connected quandles up to order 14, and in particular to show that there is no connected quandle of order 14.

We describe all subdirectly irreducible medial quandles. We show that they fall within one of four disjoint classes. In particular, in the finite case they are either connected (and therefore Alexander quandles) or reductive. Moreover, we…

Using only undergraduate-level methods, we classify all groups of order $p^4$, where $p$ is an odd prime.

Let p be a prime. We prove that if a finite group G has non-abelian Sylow p-subgroups, and the class size of every p-element in G is coprime to p; then G contains a simple group as a subquotient which exhibits the same property. In addition…

The classification of abelian groups of central type is well known. However, the description of non-abelian groups of central type which are known to be solvable, is far from being understood. In this paper we classify all groups of central…

The most general possible central extensions of two whole families of Lie algebras, which can be obtained by contracting the special pseudo-unitary algebras su(p,q) of the Cartan series A_l and the pseudo-unitary algebras u(p,q), are…

We give the first general constructions of even length quaternary Legendre pairs: there is a quaternary Legendre pair of length $(q-1)/2$ for every prime power $q$ congruent to $1$ modulo $4$, and there is a quaternary Legendre pair of…
