Classification of connected shelves

We investigate finite right-distributive binary algebraic structures called shelves. We first use symbolic computations with Python to classify (up to isomorphism) all connected shelves with order less than six. We explore the group structure generated by the rows of latin shelves. We also define two-variable shelf polynomial by analogy with the quandle polynomial and then state a conjecture about connected idempotent shelves.

Abstract

We investigate finite right-distributive binary algebraic structures called shelves. We first use symbolic computations with Python to classify (up to isomorphism) all connected shelves with order less than six. We explore the group structure generated by the rows of latin shelves. We also define two-variable shelf polynomial by analogy with the quandle polynomial and then state a conjecture about connected idempotent shelves.
