Abstract
The analogy between knots in mathematical knot theory and “knots” in medicine is studied for the example of a certain invariant of Legendrian knots. The connection between the “Chern class” and the “Maslov class” is analyzed. A conjecture on the connection between the “Connes-Chern character” and the “Maslov class” is proposed.Keywords
