We characterize all biquandles with a given underlying quandle. Using this characterization, we obtain a relationship between the automorphism group of a biquandle and the automorphism group of its underlying quandle. As an application, we determine the automorphism groups of Alexander and dihedral biquandles. We also define a biquandle structure on a direct product of two quandles and describe the automorphism group of the biquandle thus obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-06T17:14:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "automorphism group", "constructing biquandles", "define biquandle structures", "direct product", "dihedral biquandles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
