For concreteness, let's consider a connected reductive Lie group $G$, and an involution $\theta$ on it. Then the associated symmetric space $X=G/G^\theta$ has the structure of an involutive quandle: ...

A quandle is defined to be a set $Q$ with two binary operations $\star,\bar\star\colon\ Q\times Q\to Q$ for which the following axioms hold. Q1. a $\star$ a = a Q2. (a $\star$ b) $\bar\star$ b = (a $\...

A kei, also known as an involutive (or involutory) quandle, is a quandle $(Q,*)$ satisfying the involution condition that $(x*y)*y=x$ for all $x$ and $y$. Just like we can define a fundamental ...

In the category of racks (similarly quandles), instead of well-known semidirect product, we have the hemi-semi direct product construction as seen on Wagemann & Crans. As far as I know, semi ...

In (Williams and Beer, 2010), they define the partial information decomposition (PID) as a generalization of Shannon's Mutual Information for multiple information sources. Their key insight is that ...

Let $B_{\infty}$ denote the infinite strand braid group. Let $\mathrm{sh}:B_{\infty}\rightarrow B_{\infty}$ be the mapping where $\mathrm{sh}(\sigma_{i})=\sigma_{i+1}$ whenever $i\geq 1$. Then $B_{\...
