Quandles from gauge transformations
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a quandle structure induced by an augmented rack arising from a gauge transformation group. We construct a quandle from a principal bundle and its discrete generalization. When we see a group as a (discrete) principal bundle over a point, this quandle becomes equivalent to the generalized Alexander quandle for its inner automorphism. Moreover, we construct a Lie and Noether quandle structure from a smooth gauge transformation.
