Abstract

It is shown that a linear Hamiltonian system of signature zero in 4 dimensions is elliptic or hyperbolic according to the number of Lagrangian planes in the null-cone H1(0)H^{-1}(0), or equivalently the number of invariant Lagrangian planes. An extension to higher dimensions is described.
