Diagrammatic Interpretations of Generalized Quandle Co-homology (or what are these bugs that I keep drawing?)
by
J. Scott Carter
University of South Alabama

Quandles are a distillation of conjugation in a group. The main property is an operation that distributes over itself (a*b)*c=(a*c)*(b*c). This property can be interpreted in a variety of contexts. A cohomology theory is presented which encompasses Lie algebra cohomology and other theories. The bugs are the diagrams that describe vector space valued functions.
