Quandles from group actions and a Cayley-type embedding theorem
Abstract
A quandle is an algebraic system that can be regarded as a generalization of the conjugation operation in groups. We study a quandle construction associated with group actions and determine its structural properties, including its inner automorphism group, connected components, and subquandles. As a principal application, we establish a Cayley-type embedding theorem for finite quandles. Applying the construction to the natural action of the symmetric group, we obtain, for each n, a single quandle into which every quandle of cardinality n embeds.
