Subdirectly irreducible sloops and SQS-skeins
It was shown that there is 8
classes of nonsimple subdirectly irreducible SQS-skeins of
cardinality 32 (SK(32)s). Now, we present the same classification
for sloops of cardinality 32 (SL(32)s) and unify this
classification for both SL(32)s and SK(32)s in one table. Next,
some recursive construction theorems for subdirectly irreducible
SL(2n)s and SK(2n)s which are not necessary to be
nilpotent are given. Further, we construct an SK(2n) with a
derived SL(2n) such that SK(2n) and SL(2n) are
subdirectly irreducible and have the same congruence lattice. We
also construct an SK(2n) with a derived SL(2n) such that
the congruence lattice of SK(2n) is a proper sublattice of the
congruence lattice of SL(2n).
