The middle translations of finite involutory latin quandles

Abstract

This paper studies the left (right) middle translations on finite involutory latin quandles and their representations. It also shows that a left involutory latin quandle of odd order n can be constructed from a cyclic group of odd order by the application of left middle translations. Furthermore, the concept of spins of involutory latin quandle is investigated, and it is shown that if Q is a left involutory latin quandle of odd order n, then the set of all right spins (r-spins) is a cyclic group of odd order n under composition of mapping.
