Example of idempotent left quasigroups which are right-distributive but not left-distributive
I am looking for examples of the following algebraic structure: a set (X,.) which satisfy the axioms
(idempotent) x.x = x
(left quasigroup) the equation a.x = b has a unique solution denoted by x = ...

Basic questions about varieties of uniformly partially permutative algebras
Define the Fibonacci terms $t_{n}(x,y)$ for all $n\geq 1$ by letting
$t_{1}(x,y)=y,t_{2}(x,y)=x,t_{n+2}(x,y)=t_{n+1}(x,y)*t_{n}(x,y)$.
We say that an algebra $(X,*)$ is $N$-uniformly partially ...

Which varieties are compatible with the classical Laver tables?
Let $$A_{n}=(\{1,\dots,2^{n}-1,2^{n}\},*_{n})$$ denote the $n$-th classical Laver table. The operation $*_{n}$ is the unique binary operation on
$\{1,\dots,2^{n}\}$ such that $$x*_{n}(y*_{n}z)=(x*_{n}...

Can finite binary self-distributive algebras fit into small $n$-ary self-distributive algebras?
A binary operation $*$ is said to be self-distributive if it satisfies the identity $x*(y*z)=(x*y)*(x*z)$. An $n+1$-ary operation $t$ is said to be self-distributive if it satisfies the identity
$$t(...

How many compatible linear orders exist on the classical Laver tables?
Let $A_{n}$ be the unique algebra $(\{1,\dots,2^{n}\},*_{n})$ such that
$x*_{n}1=x+1\mod 2^{n}$ and
$x*_{n}(y*_{n}z)=(x*_{n}y)*_{n}(x*_{n}z)$ for all $x,y,z$. We say that a linear ordering $\preceq$ ...

Hemi-semi direct product of racks or quandles
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 ...

Formally undecidable problems on finitely presented quandles
In the literature, one sometimes sees the claim that finitely presented quandles (in particular, knot quandles) are "hard to deal with". Hence, a great deal of effort has gone into studying finite ...
