Polynomial cocycles of Alexander quandles and applications
Kheira Ameur, Masahico Saito
Cocycles are constructed by polynomial expressions for Alexander quandles. As applications, non-triviality of some quandle homology groups are proved, and quandle cocycle invariant…

Tangle embeddings and quandle cocycle invariants
Kheira Ameur, Mohamed Elhamdadi, Tom Rose +2
To study embeddings of tangles in knots, we use quandle cocycle invariants. Computations are carried out for the tables of knots and tangles, to investigate which tangles may or ma…
