Signed ordered knotlike quandle presentations
نویسنده
چکیده
We define enhanced presentations of quandles via generators and relations with additional information comprising signed operations and an order structure on the set of generators. Such a presentation determines a virtual link diagram up to virtual moves. We list formal Reidemeister moves in which Tietze moves on the presented quandle are accompanied by corresponding changes to the order structure. Omitting the order structure corresponds to replacing virtual isotopy by welded isotopy. AMS Classification 57M25, 57M27; 27M05, 20F05

On The Structure and Automorphism Group of Finite Alexander Quandles
We prove that an Alexander quandle of prime order is generated by any pair of distinct elements. Furthermore, we prove for such a quandle that any ordered pair of distinct elements can be sent to any other such pair by an automorphism of the quandle.
متن کاملMatrices and finite Alexander quandles
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.
متن کاملQuandle coloring and cocycle invariants of composite knots and abelian extensions.
Quandle colorings and cocycle invariants are studied for composite knots, and applied to chirality and abelian extensions. The square and granny knots, for example, can be distinguished by quandle colorings, so that a trefoil and its mirror can be distinguished by quandle coloring of composite knots. We investigate this and related phenomena. Quandle cocycle invariants are studied in relation t...
متن کاملGeneralized quandle polynomials
We define a family of generalizations of the two-variable quandle polynomial. These polynomial invariants generalize in a natural way to eight-variable polynomial invariants of finite biquandles. We use these polynomials to define a family of link invariants which further generalize the quandle counting invariant.
متن کاملGeneralizations of Quandle Cocycle Invariants and Alexander Modules from Quandle Modules
Quandle cohomology theory was developed [5] to define invariants of classical knots and knotted surfaces in state-sum form, called quandle cocycle (knot) invariants. The quandle cohomology theory is a modification of rack cohomology theory which was defined in [11]. The cocycle knot invariants are analogous in their definitions to the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants [8] of triangulated 3-manifolds ...
