On Finite Racks and Quandles

چکیده
We revisit finite racks and quandles using a perspective based on permutations which can aid in the understanding of the structure. As a consequence we recover old results and prove new ones. We also present and analyze several examples.

Link invariants from finite racks
We define ambient isotopy invariants of oriented knots and links using the counting invariants of framed links defined by finite racks. These invariants reduce to the usual quandle counting invariant when the rack in question is a quandle. We are able to further enhance these counting invariants with 2-cocycles from the coloring rack’s second rack cohomology satisfying a new degeneracy conditio...
متن کاملExtensions of Racks and Quandles
A rack is a set equipped with a bijective, self-right-distributive binary operation, and a quandle is a rack which satisfies an idempotency condition. In this paper, we introduce a new definition of modules over a rack or quandle, and show that this definition includes the one studied by Etingof and Graña [9] and the more general one given by Andruskiewitsch and Graña [1]. We further show that ...
متن کاملEnumerating Finite Racks, Quandles and Kei
A rack of order n is a binary operation B on a set X of cardinality n, such that right multiplication is an automorphism. More precisely, (X,B) is a rack provided that the map x 7→ x B y is a bijection for all y ∈ X, and (x B y) B z = (x B z) B (y B z) for all x, y, z ∈ X. The paper provides upper and lower bounds of the form 2cn 2 on the number of isomorphism classes of racks of order n. Simil...
متن کاملThe Word Problem for Finitely Presented Quandles is Undecidable
This work presents an algorithmic reduction of the word problem for recursively presented groups to the word problem for recursively presented quandles. The faithfulness of the reduction follows from the conjugation quandle construction on groups. It follows that the word problem for recursively presented quandles is not effectively computable, in general. This article also demonstrates that a ...
متن کاملClassification of Finite Alexander Quandles
Two finite Alexander quandles with the same number of elements are isomorphic iff their Z[t]-submodules Im(1 − t) are isomorphic as modules. This yields specific conditions on when Alexander quandles of the form Zn[t ]/(t − a) where gcd(n, a) = 1 (called linear quandles) are isomorphic, as well as specific conditions on when two linear quandles are dual and which linear quandles are connected. ...
