Abstract:

Racks and quandles are prominent set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We enumerate racks and quandles of orders $n\le 13$ up to isomorphism, improving upon the previously known results for $n\le 8$ and $n\le 9$, respectively. The enumeration is based on the classification of subgroups of small symmetric groups up to conjugation, on a representation of racks and quandles in symmetric groups due to Joyce and Blackburn, and on a number of theoretical and computational observations concerning the representation. We explicitly find representatives of isomorphism types of racks of order $\le 11$ and quandles of order $\le 12$. For the remaining orders we merely count the isomorphism types, relying in part on the enumeration of $2$-reductive racks and $2$-reductive quandles due to Jedlička, Pilitowska, Stanovský, and Zamojska-Dzienio.
