Quandles versus symmetric quandles for oriented links
Kanako Oshiro
Abstract:Given a quandle, we can construct a symmetric quandle called the symmetric double of the quandle. We show that the (co)homology groups of a given quandle are isomorphic to those of its symmetric double. Moreover, quandle coloring numbers and quandle cocycle invariants of oriented links and oriented surface-links can be interpreted by using symmetric quandles.
