cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A linear quandle is a pair (Z/nZ, k) where k is a unit in Z/nZ, viewed as an Alexander quandle under the operation a(b) := ka + (1-k)b. A linear quandle is trivial if and only if k = 1.
A good involution f of a quandle Q is an involution that commutes with all inner automorphisms and satisfies the identity f(y)(x) = y^-1(x). The pair (Q,f) is called a symmetric quandle.

Formula

If A060594(n) = 2, then a(n) = 1 if n is odd, a(n) = 4 if n = 4, and a(n) = 2 otherwise. See Ta, Ex. 5.8 and Prop. 5.9.
For all n >= 1, we have a(4n) >= A202828(n), with equality if and only if n = 1. See Ta, Thm. 5.11.

A good involution f of a quandle Q is an involution that commutes with all inner automorphisms and satisfies the identity f(y)(x) = y^-1(x). We call the pair (Q,f) a symmetric quandle. A symmetric quandle isomorphism is a quandle isomorphism that intertwines good involutions.
A core quandle Core(G) is a group G viewed as a kei (i.e., involutory quandle) under the operation g(h) = g*h^-1*g. Note that Core(G) is nontrivial if and only if exp(G) > 2.

Examples

			For n = 4 the only nontrivial core quandle is the dihedral quandle R4 = Core(Z/4Z) of order 4. It is well-known (see Thm. 3.2 of Kamada and Oshiro) that R4 has exactly four good involutions. Hence a(4) = 4.
For n = 6 the only nontrivial core quandles are Core(S3) and R6 = Core(Z/6Z), which have one and two good involutions, respectively. Hence a(6) = 3.

Formula

Let n > 2. Then Ta, Cor. 7.17 implies the following. If n appears in A000040 or A050384, then a(n) = 1. If n appears in A221048, then a(n) = 2. If n > 4 and n appears in A100484, then a(n) = 3.

A good involution f of a quandle Q is an involution that commutes with all inner automorphisms and satisfies the identity f(y)(x) = y^-1(x). We call the pair (Q,f) a symmetric quandle.
A conjugation quandle is a group viewed as a quandle under the conjugation operation. Since conjugation quandles of abelian groups are trivial, this sequence only considers nonabelian groups.

Examples

			For n = 1, 3, 5, 9, 10, there is a unique nonabelian group G of order A060652(n), and G is centerless. It follows from Ta, Prop. 5.3 that a(n) = 1.

A good involution f of a rack R is an involution that commutes with all inner automorphisms and satisfies the identity f(y)(x) = y^-1(x). We call the pair (R,f) a symmetric rack. A symmetric rack isomorphism is a rack isomorphism that intertwines good involutions.

A rack or quandle is medial if it satisfies the identity (xy)(uv) = (xu)(yv).
A Legendrian quandle is a pair (X,u) where X is a quandle and u is an involutory automorphism of X such that u(yx)=y(u(x)); see Ta, "Generalized Legendrian...," Corollary 3.13.
a(n) is also the number of medial racks X such that the kink map X -> X defined by x -> x(x) is an involution; see Ta, "Equivalences of...," Theorem 1.1.

A rack is involutory if it satisfies the identity y(yx) = x. In particular, involutory quandles are called kei.
a(n) is also the number of Legendrian kei (i.e., kei equipped with Legendrian structures) up to order n up to isomorphism; see Ta, Theorem 1.1.
a(n) is also the number of symmetric kei (i.e., kei equipped with good involutions) up to order n up to isomorphism; see Ta, "Equivalences of...," Corollary 1.3.
