Symmetric quandle colorings and ribbon concordance
Published 19 Dec 2022 in math.GT | (2212.09218v2)
Abstract: A quandle can always trivially color an orientable surface-link. This note shows that the surface-link of Yoshikawa's table cannot be colored by a symmetric dihedral quandle of order 4, and explains how this obstructs a generalized ribbon concordance between another link of two projective planes that does admit a coloring by the same symmetric dihedral quandle.
