Topological Quandles and Invariants of Links
arXiv:math/0508536
Abstract
We introduce a notion of topological quandle. Given a topological quandle we associate to every classical link in an invariant which is a topological space (defined up to a homeomorphism). The space can be interpreted as a space of colourings of a diagram of the link with colours from the quandle .
