Indecomposable racks of order $p^2$Matías Gra\ naMIT, Mathematics Department, 77 Mass. Ave., 02139 Cambridge, MA - USA, Permanent address: Depto. de Matemática, FCEyN - UBA Pab. I, Ciudad Universitaria, 1428--Buenos Aires, Argentina, e-mail: matiasg@math.mit.eduAbstract: We classify indecomposable racks of order $p^2$ ($p$ a prime). There are $2p^2-2p-2$ isomorphism classes, among which $2p^2-3p-1$ correspond to quandles. In particular, we prove that an indecomposable quandle of order $p^2$ is affine. As an ingredient of the classification, we prove that the quandle nonabelian second cohomology set of an indecomposable quandle of prime order is trivial. Classification (MSC2000): 16W30, 57M27 Full text of the article:
