COMMENTS
Generalized Legendrian racks, also called GL-racks or bi-Legendrian racks, are racks equipped with a rack automorphism that commutes with all inner rack automorphisms; see Ta, Definition 3.1 and Proposition 3.12. They are used to distinguish Legendrian links in contact three-space.
GL-racks are precisely virtual racks in which all inner rack automorphisms are virtual rack automorphisms; cf. Cattabriga and Nasybullov, Section 3.2.
A rack or quandle X is medial (also called abelian) if the map X x X -> X defined by (x,y) -> y(x) is a rack homomorphism. Equivalently, the identity (xy)(uv)=(xu)(yv) holds for all elements x, y, u, and v in X.
