Matrices and Finite Quandles

Benita Ho, Sam Nelson

Published 2004-12-20, updated 2005-11-10Version 3

Finite quandles with n elements can be represented as n-by-n matrices. We show how to use these matrices to distinguish all isomorphism classes of finite quandles for a given cardinality n, as well as how to compute the automorphism group of each finite quandle. As an application, we classify finite quandles with up to 5 elements and compute the automorphism group for each quandle.
