Popis: We enhance the quandle counting invariants of oriented classical and virtual knots and links using a construction similar to quandle modules but inspired by symplectic quandle operations rather than Alexander quandle operations. Given a finite quandle $X$ and a vector space $V$ over a field, sets of bilinear forms on $V$ indexed by pairs of elements of $X$ satisfying certain conditions yield new enhanced multiset- and polynomial-valued invariants of oriented classical and virtual knots and links. We provide examples to illustrate the computation of the invariants and to show that the enhancement is proper.
