Definition

Suppose $G$ is a group and $S$ is a non-empty subset of $G$. We say that $S$ is a 1-closed subquandle of $G$ if the following hold:

1. $S$ is a 1-closed subset of $G$, i.e., the cyclic subgroup generated by any element of $S$ is in $S$.
2. For any $a,b\in S$, the conjugate $aba^{-1}$ is in $S$. Note that by the preceding, this is equivalent to requiring that for any $a,b\in S$, the conjugate $a^{-1}ba$ is in $S$. In particular, $S$ is a subquandle of the quandle given by the conjugation rack of $G$.
