<tdstyle="background-color: white;">A quandle (Q, 9657;) is a non-empty
set Q equipped with a binary operation 9657; : Q × Q 8594; Q satisfying the
following axioms:<br>
<br> 1/ 8704;8707;8712;For all a 8712; Q, a >9657; a = a.<br> 2/ 8704; a, b 8712; Q, 'color: green'>8707;! c 8712; Q such that a = c 9657; b.<br> 3/ 8704; a, b, c 8712; Q, (a yle='color: green'>9657; b) 9657; c = (a 9657; c) 9657; (b 9657; c).<br>
<br>
One can check that for any group G and n 8712; 8484;, the magma (G, 9657;) forms
a quandle with the operation x 9657; y = y<sup>-n</sup>xy<sup>n</sup> , 8704; x, y 8712; G. Such a quandle is called the n-Fold Conjugation Quandle.<br>
<br>
A quandle <em>Q</em> is said to be connected if the inner
automorphism group <em>Inn Q</em> acts transitively on <em>Q</em>.
In other words, <em>Q</em> is connected if and only if for each
pair a, b in <em>Q</em> there are a<sub>1</sub>, a<sub>2</sub>, . .
. , a<sub>n</sub> in <em>Q</em> such that a 9657; a<sub>1</sub> 9657;· · · 9657; a<sub>n</sub> = b.<br>
<br>
A quandle <em>Q</em> is said to be latin if 8704; a, b 8712; <em>Q</em>, 8707;
c 8712;<em> Q</em> such that a = b 9657; c.</td>

<tdstyle="background-color: white; height: 192px;">A knot is an
embedding of the circle S<sup>1</sup> in 8477;<sup>3</sup>.<br>
<br>
To study these structures, we use knot diagrams, which are
projections of these knots into 8477;<sup>2</sup>, defined, for
instance, by f : 8477;<sup>3</sup> 8594; 8477;<sup>2</sup>; (x,y,z) 8594; (x,y)<sup></sup>
subject to the constraint that the preimage of any (x, y) 8712; an style='color: green'>8477;<sup>2</sup>
contains at most two points.<br>
<br>
Crossing points occur when the preimage of a point in 8477;<sup>2</sup>
contains more than one point.<br>
<br>
At these crossing points, we denote the point in the preimage that
is nearer to the 8477;<sup>2</sup> plane as the under-crossing point and
the point farther away as the over-crossing point. An arc is a line
that connects two crossing points in the knot diagram, with a line
break occurring when an undercrossing point is mapped to the arc.<br>
<br>
We may give a knot diagram an orientation, i.e. a direction of
travelling around the knot. This allows us to categorize crossings
as either positive or negative:

An other way to describe a knot is to use quandles. From a knot K,
we can construct the knot quandle Q(K), whose generators are the
arcs of K, and relations are associated to the crossings:<br>
