Quandles at Finite Temperatures I
نویسنده
چکیده
In [3] quandle cohomology is used to produce invariants for particular embeddings of codimension two; 2-cocycles give rise to invariants for (classical) knots and 3-cocycles give rise to invariants for knotted surfaces. This is done by way of a notion of coloring of a diagram. Also, these invariants have the form of the state-sums (or partition functions) used in Statistical Mechanics. By a careful analysis of these colorings of diagrams we are able to come up with new invariants which correspond to calculation of the partition function at finite temperatures.

Classification 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. ...
متن کاملSymbolic computation with finite quandles
Algorithms are described and Maple implementations are provided for finding all quandles of order n, as well as computing all homomorphisms between two finite quandles or from a finitely presented quandle (e.g., a knot quandle) to a finite quandle, computing the automorphism group of a finite quandle, etc. Several of these programs work for arbitrary binary operation tables and hence algebraic ...

متن کاملQuandle colorings of knots and applications.
We present a set of 26 finite quandles that distinguish (up to reversal and mirror image) by number of colorings, all of the 2977 prime oriented knots with up to 12 crossings. We also show that 1058 of these knots can be distinguished from their mirror images by the number of colorings by quandles from a certain set of 23 finite quandles. We study the colorings of these 2977 knots by all of the...
