Involutory latin quandles of order $pq$

Authors: Přemysl Jedlička

Abstract:

We present a construction of a family of involutory latin quandles, a family that contains all non-Alexander involutory latin quandles of order $pq$, for $p<q$ odd primes. Such quandles exist if and only if $p$ divides $q^2-1$.

Keywords: involutory quandles, quasigroups, Bruck loops, finite fields
