We Introduce the notion of a quandle with a good involution and its homology groups Cartel et al defined quandle cocycle invariants for oriented links and oriented surface-links By use of good involutions, quandle cocyle invariants can be defined ...

Quandles with involutions that satisfy certain conditions, called good involutions, can be used to color non-orientable surface-knots. We use subgroups of signed permutation matrices to construct non-trivial good involutions on extensions of odd o...

For any positive integer n, we give a 2-component surface-link F = F(1) boolean OR F(2) such that F(1) is orientable, F(2) is non-orientable and the triple point number of F is equal to 2n. To give lower bounds of the triple point numbers, we use ...
