Abstract |
|
We consider the problem of when one quandle homomorphism will factor through another, restricting our attention to the case where all quandles involved are connected. We provide a complete solution to the problem for surjective quandle homomorphisms using the structure theorem for connected quandles of Ehrman et al. (J. Knot Theory Ramifications 17:4 (2008), 511–520) and the factorization system for surjective quandle homomorphisms of Bunch et al. (J. Knot Theory Ramifications 19:9 (2010), 1145–1156) as our primary tools. |
Keywords
