We introduce the concept of Schl\\\"{a}fli quandles which are defined relating to chosen rotational symmetries of regular tessellations. On the other hand, quandles have a good chemistry with knot theory. Associated with a knot we have its knot quandle. We show that the knot quandle of the $m$-twist-spun trefoil is a central extension of the Schl\\\"{a}fli quandle related to the regular tessellation $\\{ 3, m \\}$ in the sense of the Schl\\\"{a}fli symbol if $m \\geq 3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-27T09:26:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K12", "52B15" ], "keywords": [ "knot quandle", "central extension", "twist-spun trefoil", "schläfli quandle", "regular tessellation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
