Cocycle knot invariants with topological quandles
by

Coauthors: W. Edwin Clark

Quandle cocycle invariants were defined for knots using finite quandles. We generalize the 2-cocycle invariant for classical knots to topological quandles. The generalized invariants are computed explicitly for some knots, using SO(3) with quandle structures called generalized Alexander quandles.
