Counting racks of order n
A rack on can be thought of as a set of maps , where
each is a permutation of such that
for all and . In 2013, Blackburn showed that the number of isomorphism
classes of racks on is at least and at most , where ; in this paper we improve the upper bound
to , matching the lower bound. The proof involves
considering racks as loopless, edge-coloured directed multigraphs on ,
where we have an edge of colour between and if and only if , and applying various combinatorial tools.Comment: Minor edits. 21 pages; 1 figur
Links with finite n-quandles
We prove a conjecture of Przytycki which asserts that the n-quandle of a link L in the 3-sphere is finite if and only if the fundamental group of the n-fold cyclic branched cover of the 3-sphere, branched over L, is finite
Enumeration of set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation
We use Constraint Satisfaction methods to enumerate and construct
set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation of small size. We show that
there are 321931 involutive solutions of size nine, 4895272 involutive
solutions of size ten and 422449480 non-involutive solution of size eight. Our
method is then used to enumerate non-involutive biquandles.Comment: 11 pages, 8 table
