We construct sequencings for many groups that are a semi-direct product of an odd-order abelian group and a cyclic group of odd prime order. It follows from these constructions that there is a group-based complete Latin square of order $n$…

We adapt the commutator theory of universal algebra to the particular setting of racks and quandles, exploiting a Galois connection between congruences and certain normal subgroups of the displacement group. Congruence properties such as…

A quandle is an algebra with two binary operations satisfying three conditions which are related to Reidemeister moves in knot theory. In this paper we introduce the notion of the (canonical) tensor product of a quandle. The tensor product…

In this paper, we investigate structural properties of the Cayley graph of a quandle and describe this graph for several important classes of quandles, including conjugation, Takasaki, dihedral, and Alexander quandles. In particular, we…

We introduce the notion of an orbit series in a quandle. Using this notion we define four families of quandles based on finiteness conditions on their orbit series. Intuitively, the classes tOS and tOSn correspond to finitary compositions…

We show that the cohomology groups usually associated with racks and quandles agree with the Quillen cohomology groups for the algebraic theories of racks and quandles, respectively. We also explain how this makes available the entire range…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

Based on a fact that complex Clifford algebras of even dimension are isomorphic to the matrix ones, we consider bundles in Clifford algebras whose structure group is a general linear group acting on a Clifford algebra by left…

We study the structure of symplectic quandles, quandles which are also R-modules equipped with an antisymmetric bilinear form. We show that every finite dimensional symplectic quandle over a finite field F or arbitrary field F of…

Given a quandle, we can construct a symmetric quandle called the symmetric double of the quandle. We show that the (co)homology groups of a given quandle are isomorphic to those of its symmetric double. Moreover, quandle coloring numbers…

The fundamental quandle is a powerful invariant of knots, links and spatial graphs, but it is often difficult to determine whether two quandles are isomorphic. One approach is to look at quotients of the quandle, such as the $n$-quandle…

Posed by Taniguchi, the classification of quandles with good involutions is a difficult question with applications to surface-knot theory. We address this question for subquandles of conjugation quandles, including all core quandles. We…

Let $Q$ be a Dynkin quiver and $\Pi$ the corresponding set of positive roots. For the preprojective algebra $\Lambda$ associated to $Q$ we produce a rigid $\Lambda$-module $I_Q$ with $r=|\Pi|$ pairwise non-isomorphic indecomposable direct…

During his work devoted to Coxeter's friezes, M. Cuntz initiated the study of the notion of $\lambda$-quiddity and raised the problem of the study of this over some subsets of $\mathbb C$. More specifically, $\lambda$-quiddities are the…

We prove that if a conjugation quandle is Hopfian, then its underlying group is also Hopfian. We also show that the converse does not hold by providing an example. This highlights a distinction between conjugation quandles and their…

We introduce the notion of a $G$-family of quandles which is an algebraic system whose axioms are motivated by handlebody-knot theory, and use it to construct invariants for handlebody-knots. Our invariant can detect the chiralities of some…

The knot quandle is an invariant of $n$-knots. In this note, we study the knot quandles of Suciu's ribbon $n$-knots, an infinite family of knots with isomorphic knot groups. We prove that their knot quandles are mutually non-isomorphic.…

In this note we give two results. First, if a latin bitrade $(T_1, T_2)$ is primary, thin, separated, and the autotopism group of $T_1$ acts regularly on $T_1$, then $(T_1, T_2)$ may be derived from a group-based construction. Second, if a…

Let G be a simple complex algebraic group. By using a notion of a G-category we define invariants of tangles with flat G-connections in their complements. We also show that quantized universal enveloping algebras at roots of unity provide…

In generalization of knot quandles we introduce similar algebraic structures associated with arbitrary pairs consisting of a path-connected topological space and its path-connected subspace.
