Ring Theoretic Aspects of Quandles.

Coauthors: N. Fernando and B. Tsvelikhovskiy.

In a recent paper arXiv:1709.03069 Bardakov et al. initiated the study of quandle rings and posed some open problems. We will start the talk by giving some basic properties of these rings, we will explain how one obtains a complete description of right ideals under the assumption that the inner automorphism group Inn(X) acts orbit 2-transitively on X. We will show that if for two quandles X and Y the inner automorphism groups act 2-transitively and k[X] is isomorphic to k[Y ], then the quandles are of the same partition type. We will also give explicit examples when the quandle rings k[X] and k[Y ] are isomorphic, but the quandles X and Y are not isomorphic, thus solving some open problems in the paper by Bardakov et al.
