Wrack (mathematics)
In mathematics, racks and quandles are sets with binary operations satisfying axioms analogous to the Reidemeister moves used to manipulate knot diagrams. While mainly used to obtain invariants of knots, they can be viewed as algebraic constructions in their own right. In particular, the definition of a quandle axiomatizes the properties of conjugation in a group. History In 1943, Mituhisa Takasaki (高崎光久) introduced an algebraic structure which he called a ''Kei'' (圭), which would later come to be known as an involutive quandle. His motivation was to find a nonassociative algebraic structure to capture the notion of a reflection in the context of finite geometry. The idea was rediscovered and generalized in (unpublished) 1959 correspondence between John Conway and Gavin Wraith, who at the time were undergraduate students at the University of Cambridge. It is here that the modern definitions of quandles and of racks first appear. Wraith had become interested in these s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wrack (seaweed)
Wrack is part of the common names of several species of seaweed in the family Fucaceae. It may also refer more generally to any seaweeds or seagrasses that wash up on beaches and may accumulate in the wrack zone. It consists largely of species of ''Fucus'' — brown seaweeds with flat branched ribbon-like fronds, characterized in '' F. serratus'' by a saw-toothed margin and in '' F. vesiculosus'', another common species, by bearing air-bladders. Another component of sea wrack may be seagrasses such as ''Zostera marina'' a marine flowering plant with bright green long narrow grass-like leaves. ''Posidonia australis'', which occurs sub-tidally on the southern coasts of Australia, sheds its older ribbon-like leaf blades in winter, resulting in thick accumulations along more sheltered shorelines. *"Bladder wrack", ''Fucus vesiculosus'' *"Channelled wrack", ''Pelvetia canaliculata'' *"Knotted wrack", ''Ascophyllum nodosum'' *"Spiral wrack" or "flat wrack", ''Fucus spiralis'' *"Toot ...
