Abstract: A generalised Legendrian rack is a rack equipped with a Legendrian structure, which is a pair of maps encoding the information of Legendrian Reidemeister moves together with up and down cusps in the front diagram of an oriented Legendrian link. We associate a generalised Legendrian rack to an oriented Legendrian link, and prove that it is invariant under the Legendrian isotopy. As immediate applications, we show that this invariant distinguishes infinitely many oriented Legendrian unknots and oriented Legendrian trefoils. Further, we propose a (co)homology theory for generalised Legendrian racks and employ it to construct cocycle invariants for oriented Legendrian links. When the underlying Legendrian structure is trivial, we retrieve the well-known (co)homology theory for quandles, and consequently quandle cocycle invariants for underlying topological links. We also prove that every generalised Legendrian rack admits a homogeneous representation.
