Coloring Torus Knots by Conjugation Quandles

Abstract

In the first part of this paper, we present general results concerning the colorability of torus knots using conjugation quandles over any abstract group. Subsequently, we offer a numerical characterization for the colorability of torus knots using conjugation quandles over some particular groups, such as the matrix groups $GL(2,q)$ and $SL(2,q)$, the dihedral group, and the symmetric group.
