چکیده
We propose a topological theory of the Maslov index for lagrangian and symplectic paths based on a minimal system of axioms. We recover , as particular cases, the Hörmander and the Robbin–Salomon indices.

Anti-symplectic Involution and Maslov Indices
We carry out some first steps in setting up a theory for Lagrangian Floer theory, mimicking Seidel’s construction for Hamiltonian Floer homology [7], for the subgroup HamL(M,ω) of Ham(M,ω) which preserves the Lagrangian L. When the symplectic manifold M has anti-symplectic involution c and L is the fixed Lagrangian submanifold, we consider the subgroup Hamc(M,ω) which commute with c. In the lat...
متن کاملOn the usefulness of an index due to Leray for studying the intersections of Lagrangian and symplectic paths
Using the ideas of Keller, Maslov introduced in the mid-1960’s an index for Lagrangian loops, whose definition was clarified by Arnold. Leray extended Arnold results by defining an index depending on two paths of Lagrangian planes with transversal endpoints. We show that the combinatorial and topological properties of Leray’s index suffice to recover all Lagrangian and symplectic intersection i...
متن کاملA Maslov-type Index Theory for Symplectic Paths
In this paper, we extend the Maslov-type index theory defined in [7], [15], [10], and [18] to all continuous degenerate symplectic paths, give a topological characterization of this index theory for all continuous symplectic paths, and study its basic properties. Suppose τ > 0. We consider an τ -periodic symmetric continuous 2n × 2n matrix function B(t), i.e. B ∈ C(Sτ ,Ls(R)) with Sτ = R/(τZ), ...
متن کاملOn the Maslov Index of Symplectic Paths That Are Not Transversal to the Maslov Cycle. Semi-riemannian Index Theorems in the Degenerate Case
The Maslov index of a symplectic path, under a certain transversality assumption, is given by an algebraic count of the intersections of the path with a subvariety of the Lagrangian Grassmannian called the Maslov cycle. In these notes we use the notion of generalized signatures at a singularity of a smooth curve of symmetric bilinear forms to determine a formula for the computation of the Maslo...
متن کاملInvariant measures of Hamiltonian systems with prescribed asymptotic Maslov index
We study the properties of the asymptotic Maslov index of invariant measures for timeperiodic Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold M . We show that if M has finite fundamental group and the Hamiltonian satisfies some general growth assumptions on the momenta, the asymptotic Maslov indices of periodic orbits are dense in the half line [0,+∞). Furthermore, if the Hami...
